Avena Colombiana(Colombian Oatmeal Drink) image

Avena means oats in English and it's a traditional Colombian drink that is rich, creamy and delicious. Great with breakfast or you could serve it at any time of the day. I use almond or soy milk to make this vegan. Use your preferred milk. From my columbian recipes.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
4 cups milk (soy, almond, rice, or other)
1 cup water (or use more milk)
1 cinnamon stick
1 pinch ground cloves
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar (or honey or agave syrup)
ground cinnamon, to sprinkle on top

Steps:

  • Place the water, milk and oatmeal in a saucepan over medium heat and cook about 15 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the cinnamon stick, ground cloves and sugar and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 more minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Place the oatmeal mixture in a plastic container and refrigerate for a least 3 hours.
  • Discard the cinnamon stick and place the mixture in a blender and blend for 2 minutes. Add more water if you like a thinner consistency.
  • Serve ice cold, with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top.
  • Some people use a little sweetened condensed milk in this recipe. Sounds good!
