When I am sick and my throat hurts, I like thin Cream of Wheat.
You prepare it according to the package directions, but use milk, and don't use quite as much Cream of Wheat as listed.
I like to eat it with brown sugar. You may want to add sliced bananas or apple sauce, but I don't care for those.
Cream of Wheat: Stovetop Directions
Makes 1 serving
1-1/4 cups milk
3 T Cream of Wheat
(the directions suggest adding salt, but we don't add it)
1) Bring milk just to a boil. Be careful not to burn milk.
2) Gradually add Cream of Wheat, stirring constantly with whisk until well blended.
3) Return to a boil, reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, for 2-1/2 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Cool slightly.
It soothes my throat and it fills me up.
