- Add 4 cups of water, the cinnamon stick and the whole cloves to a large saucepan on medium heat and bring up to a boil. Continue to boil for 10 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the water.
- Add the rolled oats and 2 cups of water to a blender and blend until smooth. Then add to the boiling water and spices. Use a whisk to mix together well, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and boil for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, add the milk, condensed milk and vanilla extract and mix together until fully combined and your porridge is ready.
- Serve hot.
Notes
1. For a thicker porridge reduce the water to 5 cups and use three cups of water to boil the spices instead of 4. 2. To make this dairy free, replace the whole milk and sweetened condensed milk with a dairy free alternative like almond or oat milk and sweetened condensed coconut or oat milk.
