  1. Combine the oats and 2 cups milk in a large jar or bowl, then refrigerate, covered, overnight.
  2. In the morning, bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until creamy (about 15 minutes).
  3. When oatmeal reaches desired consistency (it should be drinkable), add the remaining ½ cup milk, agave and cinnamon, and stir over low heat for 1 more minute. 
  4. Serve in two mugs.

Description: 

Mosh is a milky oatmeal beverage served for breakfast in Guatemala and some other Central American countries. Unlike in the US, it is simmered for a long time with lots of liquid, making it drinkable. In this version, we soak the oats overnight, so that they cook more quickly in the morning. 

Serving Size: 
1 heaping cup
