Sachlav is a beloved Middle Eastern hot drink, thick and aromatic, flavored with rose water or orange blossom, and garnished with cinnamon, nuts, raisins, and coconut. My sachlav-inspired oatmeal brings this comforting flavor profile to breakfast in a simple, wholesome bowl. By using oatmeal you get a full satisfying breakfast with all the warmth and comforting flavors of sachlav.
