Chai Oatmeal

According to Mama, this is amazing. I post this for the sake of my own memory as much as for anyone who might stumble across it. 

1-1/5 c. milk

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground coriander

1/4 tsp. ground cardamom

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

Pinch of saffron

Drop of vanilla extract

2 tsp. honey

3/4 c. rolled oats

2 tbsp. oat bran

Minced pistachios

Yogurt

1. Pour milk into a medium-sized saucepan. Add salt, cinnamon, coriander, turmeric and saffron and whisk to blend. Place pan over medium heat.

2. Just before milk comes to a boil, lower heat and let mixture simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and honey and whisk until honey dissolves.

3. Sprinkle in oats and oat bran and stir once or twice. Cover pan and leave over low heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
