Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan combine milk, cream of wheat, salt, vanilla, cinnamon sticks, clove powder, 2 cups of water, and half the sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and taste (it's safe to do so), add more sugar if you find it necessary (I found ½ cup too sweet, but too sweet is the preferred sweetness for some people, so do it to your taste).Let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Heat over medium heat stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.When it breaks the boil, add butter and lower the heat to very low. Simmer stirring until it reaches the desired consistency, taking into consideration it will get much thicker when it cools down. I suggest a thick but still liquid consistency.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and pour into individual servings, and sprinkle with the nutmeg. Serve warm.
