Cooking Oatmeal the Right Way with Video

Soaked Oatmeal

Ingredients

2 cups rolled organic oats

2 cups filtered water

4 TBL lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or yogurt

1 tsp. sea salt

Instructions

Mix, in a pot, the oats, water, and lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or yogurt.  Cover and leave on the counter for at least 7 hours or overnight.  Soak the oats longer if you have trouble digesting grains, for as much as 24 hours.

After soaking time is complete, add 2 additional cups of water, preferably filtered water, to the soaked oats mixture, add sea salt and bring to a boil.  Cook for 5 minutes.

Best served with butter and/or cream for optimal assimilation of minerals.  A natural sweetener, nuts, raisins or other fruit may be added as desired.
