- 2 tablespoons Rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk, water, and rolled oats.

Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats have softened and the drink thickens slightly.

Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into two mugs, straining out the oats for a smooth drink.
If desired, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for garnish.
