To prepare, simply open the package and add hot water or milk, or microwave according to the package directions. Stir well to combine the oats and liquid. The icing will soften and blend into the oatmeal, creating a sweet and creamy texture. It can be enjoyed immediately after preparation. Some people may prefer to add a bit more liquid if they like a thinner consistency.
