    I use the aldi quick ones 99c a bag and def nicest result in my experience!
    I make mine in micro, 1 cup of oats to 1 and 1/4 cups of fluid, i tend to use 3/4 boiling water and 2/4 of milk for creamier consistency
    cook on high 2 min stir cook another 2 min
    serve mine with lsa, cinnamon or nutmeg and some more milk..and if i need a bit of movement, some all bran on top too!

    Clover I asked my dad how he made his (cos he's a grandpa )
    He told me regular oats (not quick) soaked over night, boil them up and then add a little bit of milk but more than the milk of pouring cream. Stir until smooth and then serve with whatever your preference is on top. His are always smooth and always creamy - obviously.

    My Mum's traditional English recipe was for 1/2 cup oats - add 1/2 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup milk and a good pinch of salt. Simmer slowly on the stovetop until thick and creamy.

    Serve with a splash of cold milk and lots of yummy sugar!
