Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the oats and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Cook the oats for about 10 minutes, or until they are soft and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Once the oats are cooked, stir in the Irish whiskey, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the porridge to heat through and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the porridge hot in bowls, drizzling extra honey on top if desired for added sweetness.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or a milk alternative such as almond or oat milk.
- Feel free to add toppings such as sliced bananas, nuts, or dried fruits for extra flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the whiskey and add a splash of vanilla extract for flavor.
