Pour 1 cup of oatmeal into 4 cups of boiling water. Add a pinch of salt.
Let the oatmeal simmer for 1 minute.
Cover the pot and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, put the pot on the stove and cook over low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the oatmeal is hot.
Add whatever you like to your oatmeal.
