• 2 cups (500 mL) Milk

1. Stove Top
2. In a saucepan, combine milk, water and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring often. Gradually add rolled oats and cherries. Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring often, until the oatmeal is tender – about 3-5 minutes.
3. Microwave
4. In a large microwavable bowl, mix together milk, water, cinnamon, oatmeal and cherries. Cook on high, 4-5 minutes, stirring once.
5. Once cooked, remove porridge from heat or microwave oven, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the almonds and add more milk to taste.
