Preparation
- 1
Place the **water**, **cinnamon**, and **cloves** in a pot. Boil for **5 minutes**, until the water takes on a light color and smells clearly spiced.

Add the **oats** in a steady sprinkle and stir right away so lumps do not form. Cook over medium heat for **8 minutes**, stirring often, until the drink looks **creamy** but still pourable.

Remove the **cinnamon** and **cloves**. Add the **sugar**, **salt**, and **evaporated milk**; stir for **2 minutes** over low heat, just until hot again and well combined.

Serve hot or warm. If it thickens too much as it sits, loosen it with a splash of hot water and stir until it becomes **drinkable** again.
