Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Spiced Hot Cereal.
Step 1
Start by pouring 4 cups of water into a large saucepan. Add in a can of evaporated milk for that creamy texture, followed by a teaspoon of vanilla extract to infuse a lovely aroma. Sprinkle in half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a quarter teaspoon of salt, and a quarter teaspoon of ground nutmeg to bring warmth and spice to your cereal. Toss in 2 tablespoons of butter and place the saucepan over medium-high heat. As the butter melts and the mixture begins to steam (but not boil), it's time to whisk in 1 cup of cream of wheat cereal. Stir continuously to avoid lumps, and watch as it thickens beautifully. Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep it smooth. Finally, sweeten your cereal with sugar to taste, giving it that perfect touch of sweetness before serving.
How to Serve
Serve warm in bowls, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. Pair with fresh fruit or nuts for added texture and flavor.
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess.
