Combine 1.5 cups milk and 0.5 cups multigrain cereal blend in a saucepan.

Add a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Heat the mixture slowly, stirring continuously until it thickens, about 5 to 8 minutes.

If using, prepare your multigrain blend by grinding grains like organic rice, quinoa, and hard white wheat berries in a blender or grain mill.

Store any leftover multigrain blend in the freezer to prevent rancidity.

Optionally, add flaxseed to the blend for additional nutrition.

Experiment with different grains to create your preferred hot cereal blend.
