Ingredients

4 cups water, milk, or cream (I use half and half)

Toppings of choice such as brown sugar, butter, berries, etc.

Whisk together 4 cups of your choice of water, milk, cream or a mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Whisk in 1 cup of farina. Whisk until thickened, about 3 minutes, making sure to also scrape the sides. The cereal will continue to thicken as it cools and you can add more liquid to thin it out if needed.
Once thickened, remove the pot from the heat, let site for one minute and then ladle into bowls, and serve with desired toppings.

Use the right amount of liquid: The amount of liquid you use will determine the consistency of your cream of wheat. If you want a thicker cream of wheat, use less liquid. If you want a thinner cream of wheat, use more liquid.
Cook over low heat: Cream of wheat should be cooked over low heat to prevent it from scorching. Stir constantly to ensure that the cream of wheat cooks evenly.
Don't overcook the cream of wheat: Overcooked cream of wheat will be gummy and unpleasant to eat. Cook the cream of wheat for just a few minutes, or until it has reached the desired consistency.
Season to taste: Cream of wheat can be seasoned with a variety of ingredients, such as salt, pepper, sugar, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Experiment with different seasonings to find the combination that you like best.
