How do you microwave cream of wheat?

Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup cream of wheat

* 1 1/2 cups water or milk (you can use a mix)

* 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

* 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (optional)

Instructions:

1. Combine ingredients: In a large, microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the cream of wheat, water/milk, salt (if using), and sugar or honey (if using).

2. Microwave: Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap (pierce the wrap with a few holes to allow steam to escape). Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes.

3. Stir and continue cooking: Remove the bowl and stir well. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the cereal is cooked through and creamy, about 2-3 minutes total.

4. Rest and serve: Let the cream of wheat stand for a few minutes to allow it to thicken. Stir again before serving.

Tips:

* Adjust cooking time: Microwave ovens vary in power, so you may need to adjust the cooking time. Start with 1 minute and check the consistency.

* Add flavor: You can customize your cream of wheat with various toppings like fruit, nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

* Make it ahead: You can make a larger batch of cream of wheat and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
