Chef's Tips

For an even creamier porridge, use a hand blender to blend a portion of the cooked porridge before serving.

If the porridge becomes too thick, add a splash of extra Jersey milk to thin it out.

Experiment with different flavorings, such as a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom.

If you don't have Jersey milk, regular whole milk can be used, but the flavor will not be as rich.
