1. In a small saucepan, pour 1.5 cups of orange juice and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. Add 1 cup of rolled oats to the simmering orange juice and stir to combine.
3. Reduce the heat to low and cook the oatmeal, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed the orange juice and the mixture has thickened. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. If you prefer your oatmeal a bit sweeter, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey (optional).
5. Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly.
6. Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with orange zest or fresh fruit for extra flavor.
