To prepare, empty one packet of the instant oatmeal into a bowl. Add hot water or milk, typically about 2/3 cup per packet, though you can adjust the liquid amount to achieve your desired consistency. Stir well and let it stand for one to two minutes until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened. You can also prepare this in the microwave by combining the packet contents with liquid in a microwave-safe bowl and heating on high for 60 to 90 seconds, stirring halfway through.
