3. Strain the cinnamon stick and dates and add the flavoured milk to the porridge gradually, stirring as you go to get your favourite desired porridge consistency.
4. In a small frying pan on medium heat, dry roast your walnuts for 1-2 minutes or until they start to char and a beautiful nutty flavour comes through.
