  • 2 whole cloves or ⅛ tsp ground cloves
  • 34 tbsp sugar (More if needed)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 5 cups (1.18 liter) milk

Instructions

  1. Place the oats, water, cinnamon, cloves, sugar and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil on medium heat.
  2. Add the milk, bring to a boil once more on medium heat. Cover, lower heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Pour the oatmeal mixture into a jar or container, let it cool completely, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  4. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove the cinnamon sticks and whole cloves, place the mixture in a blender and blend for a few minutes until you get a smooth consistency.
