This is a classic Scottish milk-based drink using that staple of Scottish cookery, oatmeal. It also includes that ingredient from the 'Auld Alliance' between Scotland and France, brandy.

Ingredients:

600ml milk
2 tbsp oatmeal
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg
1 tbsp brandy

Method:

Add the milk to a pan, sprinkle the oatmeal and salt over the top the heat over high heat until nearly boiling. Immediately take off the heat and allow to stand for 10 minutes.

Press the mixture through a sieve into a clean saucepan then add the sugar and nutmeg. Re-heat to nearly boiling, stirring often to prevent sticking, then remove from the heat, stir-in the brandy and serve in warmed mugs.
