🥣 Oatmeal with milk
Oatmeal with milk is a simple porridge of rolled oats simmered in milk and water until thick and creamy. It is soft, mild and warming, and is usually eaten for breakfast, topped with fruit, cinnamon or a little sugar. The ratio of milk to water changes how rich and creamy it tastes.
