Techniques
  • 2 cup water
  • 2 whole small cinnamon sticks
  • 1 whole piloncillo
  • 3 whole whole cloves
  • salt
In a medium saucepan combine the water, cinnamon sticks, piloncillo, cloves and a pinch of salt.
Spiced piloncillo water
Heat over medium-high until the piloncillo dissolves, then reduce to medium-low.
Warming the milk
  • 6 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp Mexican vanilla blend
Add the milk and vanilla blend and stir until the milk is warm, about eight minutes.
Remove the whole cloves; the cinnamon sticks may stay.
  • 3 cup rolled oats
Add the rolled oats and cook 15 minutes, stirring constantly so it does not bubble up.
Cooking the oats
Serve; add more brown sugar for a sweeter oatmeal.
