Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the milk and sugar, add the cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pod, clove, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt. Stir, place over low heat, and slowly bring the milk to a boil, about 5–10 minutes (during this time, the spices will release their aroma).

Step 2

Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the milk to remove the spices, then return it to the heat, add the oats, and cook over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes until the desired thickness is reached.

Step 3

Remove from heat and pour the oatmeal onto a warmed plate. Drizzle with blueberry compote, sprinkle with almond flakes and a pinch of ground cinnamon, and serve immediately.
