Wild Oatmeal Recipe

Wild Oatmeal (a.k.a. Oat Porridge) paraphrased from Wild Fermentation

1 cup coarsely ground, steel cut, or rolled oats
5 cups water
Salt

1)Soak oats in 2 cups of water, in a bowl, covered loosely to keep out flies, for 24 hours or more.

2)When ready to cook, bring 3 cups (or less) of water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Lower heat, add oats and their bubbly water. Stir until oats are hot and water absorbed, 10? Minutes. Don't let them stick or burn. I would try not to boil it, as that would kill the microbes, probably.

3)Here's the tricky part: eat it. We put maple syrup on ours first and let it cool a little.
