Step 1

Pour the milk into a small saucepan, add salt, sugar, crushed cardamom pod, clove, and cinnamon stick. Stir, place on low heat, and slowly bring the milk to a boil, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

After boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, strain the milk to remove the spices, return the milk to the heat, add the oats, and cook over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes until desired thickness is reached. In the last minute, add half a teaspoon of whiskey to the porridge and cook until thickened again.
