While living in the Dominican Republic, I discovered their creamy, easy, and flavorful way of preparing oatmeal. It's such a comforting way to begin the day!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • ½ cup quick-cooking oats
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine milk, oats, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan. Add lemon zest, if using. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until oats are tender, about 2 minutes.
