Ingredients
- 3 cups skim milk
- 1 1/2 cups farina, dry (cream of wheat)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 whole cinnamon stick
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated)
Directions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine milk, farina, salt, vanilla, cinnamon sticks, clove powder, and water. Stir together and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat over medium heat stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot. When it breaks the boil, add butter and lower the heat to very low. Simmer stirring until it reaches the desired consistency, taking into consideration it will get much thicker when it cools down.
- Remove from the heat and pour into individual servings, and sprinkle with the nutmeg. Serve warm.
Recipe Tips
- You can save leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate it. To reheat – either on the stovetop or in the microwave – add a bit of milk to make it thinner.
