Oatmeal Water

Measure 1 quart of water into a medium pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

Add 2 teaspoons of quick oats to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats soften and the liquid becomes slightly opaque.

Add a pinch of salt if desired and stir to combine.

Pour the oatmeal water into serving cups and serve warm.
