2. Cooking Jungle Oats on the Stove

1. Measure the Ingredients
   • Start by measuring out 1 cup of Jungle Oats and 2 cups of liquid (water, milk, or a mix of both).
2. Boil the Liquid

3. Add the Oats
   • Once the liquid is boiling, add a pinch of salt (if using) and the Jungle Oats. Stir to combine.
4. Cook the Oats
   • Reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for about 5-7 minutes for a creamy consistency. If you prefer thicker oats, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove from Heat

4. Let it Sit
   • Allow the oats to sit for a minute to thicken before serving.

4. Enhancing Your Oats
