4 cups water
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups steel cut oats

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Use a combination of milk and water: This will give the oatmeal a creamy texture without making it too thick.
Add your favorite spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic oatmeal spices that add a warm and inviting flavor.
Don't overcook the oatmeal: Oatmeal is best when it is cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked oatmeal will be mushy and bland.
