Frescavena Like Oatmeal Drink Mix Recipes

AVENA COLOMBIANA(COLOMBIAN OATMEAL DRINK)

Steps:

• Place the water, milk and oatmeal in a saucepan over medium heat and cook about 15 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon.
• Add the cinnamon stick, ground cloves and sugar and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 more minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Place the oatmeal mixture in a plastic container and refrigerate for a least 3 hours.
• Discard the cinnamon stick and place the mixture in a blender and blend for 2 minutes. Add more water if you like a thinner consistency.
• Serve ice cold, with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top.
• Some people use a little sweetened condensed milk in this recipe. Sounds good!

FRESCAVENA-LIKE OATMEAL DRINK MIX

Steps:

• Empty 8 oz box of infant cereal into food processor. Using this cereal instead of rolled oats produces a finer grain that more easily dissolves in liquid, plus it is fortified with more vitamins and minerals.
• Blend until the flakes are no longer visible and it becomes a fine powder (3-5 minutes).
• Add sugar and blend again until it is mixed thoroughly and all the same fine powder consistency.
• Add 2 tablespoons (add more or less to taste) of mixture to 8 ounces of milk or water and blend in a blender or shaker cup with 2 ice cubes and enjoy!
• Optional additions: add vanilla, cinnamon or strawberry quick to final beverage. Can be served as a warm beverage as well.

MY VERY OWN FRESCAVENA - OATMEAL DRINK

• When ready to serve add 1 tbsp of mix to a cup of warm milk (for extra creamy) or water and mix. For better results or for drinking it cold use a blender.
