3 cups filtered water
1/2 lemon
2 pinches sea salt
Extra milk or water as required

In the morning, combine salt and soaked oats. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir well using a spurtle* or wooden spoon. Cook 30-40 minutes, adding extra water or milk as required, so you can easily stir. Cook until oats are collapsingly soft and creamy.
