- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Raisins
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, water, and all the spices (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves). Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Once the liquid is simmering, add the rolled oats, raisins, and salt. Stir to combine and reduce the heat to medium-low.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, add honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar for extra sweetness.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top with optional toppings such as chopped nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit.
