To prepare a single serving of hot cereal: combine 1/4 cup of the cereal mix with 3/4 cup of water (or milk) in a small pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve hot with your preferred toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, honey, or a splash of milk.
