After living in the Dominican Republic for many years, I came to appreciate their tasty and easy way of making oatmeal. The texture is more creamy and liquidy, and the flavor is comforting in the morning.
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)
Combine milk, oats, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a saucepan. Add lemon peel, if using. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
