Boil the Liquid: In a medium saucepan, bring the water or milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Make the Candied Oranges: In a small skillet over low heat, mix the orange juice, zest, and sugar. Stir for about 5 minutes until the sugar melts.
Combine It All: Stir the dried cranberries into the oats and let them soak for another minute or two. Pour in the candied orange mixture and the cinnamon, and mix.
Serve Up Your Creation: Scoop the warm oatmeal into bowls and add desired toppings.
