How to Make Flummery

In a large bowl, soak 1 cup rolled oats in 4 cups of cold water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Gently strain the soaked oats, reserving the milky oat liquid and discarding the oats.
In a medium saucepan, combine the reserved oat liquid (approximately 3 cups), 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens significantly and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm (approximately 70-80°F). Stir in 1 cup heavy cream.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish (approximately 9x13 inches) or individual ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until fully set.
Before serving, garnish with 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey, and a splash (1 tablespoon) of whisky or brandy (optional). Top with whipped cream (approximately 1/2 cup).
