Now, how do we make it?
First of all, prepare a heat-resistant bowl. Second, add in four to six tablespoons full of instant oatmeal. Third, boil 300 ml of water. You can use a kettle or you can just access hot water directly out of a water dispenser to avoid all the hassle. 300ml of water is just an estimation. You can adjust the water level into your own liking, usually, if you use a half of cup for the oats, you’ll need one cup of water for the perfect mushy texture. The imbalance of these two components affects the texture, you won’t like it if it’s too watery (due to too much water) or not completely cooked (lack of water). Fourth, pour boiling water into the bowl. Wait 2 to 3 minutes for the instant oatmeal to cook. Fifth, mix 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of honey with the cooked oatmeal using a stainless steel spoon in a stirring motion. And finally, the last step, add the toppings. The toppings are completely optional and customizable. Toppings are meant for aesthetics and extra sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth, not to mention the bonus nutrients! For instance, here, we use five fresh strawberries, half of a banana and sprinkles of grated coconut.
Voila! Bon appétit!
