Very late one evening I was pouring some cold milk into a bowl of porridge oats. I realised that I wasn't hungry after all, so I placed the bowl in the fridge and went to bed.
The next morning I remembered the bowl of oats and I took it out and took a mouthful. The result was better than anything I had ever expected.
The oats had perfectly melded with the milk and I had inadvertently created a bowl of utterly delicious cold porridge.
The recipe is simplicity in itself.
Take one bowl of porridge oats.
Fill to the brim with the chilled milk of your choice, dairy or non-dairy.
You can add brown sugar, honey, etc to add sweetness if you wish.
Stirring in cinnamon or mixed spice with dried mixed fruit is a good idea, but do make certain any spices you add are properly mixed throughout. The dried mixed fruits will absorb the moisture from the milk and will plump up very nicely.
You can also add sliced or ground nuts.
When the bowl of porridge is ready, place it in your fridge and leave it overnight or throughout the day until it is ready for you to eat.
Actually, you could try oat alternatives if you want to give that a try.
You can garnish with freshly cut fruits including bananas, strawberries, etc.
