Heat oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat.
Add grains and spices to pan and toast lightly, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes.
Carefully (mixture may splatter) add milk, agave nectar and salt, stirring well.
Heat mixture over medium-high heat, but do not boil.
Reduce heat to low and cover partially (mixture will boil over if covered tightly).
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes (check at 10 minute intervals).
Remove from heat and stir in cherries; let sit for 3-5 minutes.
Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of the almonds and additional milk, if desired.
