Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium pot over medium-low heat, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup fermented milk, and 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots. Stir constantly for 5 minutes until oats begin to soften and apricots plump.
- Step 2: Continue simmering gently for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes, until porridge reaches a thick, creamy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Step 3: Remove from heat, stir in 1 tablespoon honey, and let rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
