In a medium saucepan, heat the low-fat milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not let it come to a boil.
Gradually sprinkle in the semolina while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
Once all the semolina is incorporated, add the sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Continue to whisk and let the mixture simmer gently on low heat for about 10-12 minutes, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter until it melts and is fully incorporated.
Allow the semoule au lait to rest for a few minutes to thicken further.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with fresh berries or your fruit of choice, if desired.
