To prepare, empty the contents of one packet into a bowl. Add about 2/3 cup of boiling water or hot milk. Stir well and let it stand for a minute or two until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. Some people prefer to add more or less liquid depending on how thick they like their oatmeal. You can also microwave it by adding the liquid and heating on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
