Winter Porridge

With the cooler weather upon us I crave a warm bowl of porridge for breakfast. This recipe has evolved from my interest in Ayurvedic principles so incorporates a small spoonful of ghee for it’s nourishing quality along with my favourite warming spices, cinnamon and ginger to ward off the morning chill. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. It is a fantastic way to start your day.

This recipe serves 1 but feel free to multiply the quantities depending on how many hungry mouths you have to feed.
