Strawberry and Elderflower Porridge

This porridge reminds me of days in the sunshine, sipping sparkling Elderflower (or prosecco - take your pick) and eating ripe strawberries.

It's pretty, it's dainty and it'll brighten even the dullest of mornings.

Join me in celebrating British summer time.

Method

1. Add the remaining porridge ingredients to the Pimm’s and cook in the microwave or on the hob. On the hob: place the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy. In the microwave: place the ingredients in a microwave proof bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute, give it a good stir for 30s minutes. Put back in the microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy.

2. Top your porridge with the elderflower yoghurt and fresh strawberries.
