Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Here’s how to make it:

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring water and salt and cinnamon (if using) to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in oatmeal. Simmer for about 4 or 5 minutes, until oatmeal reaches desired consistency.
