1. Use a square bowl placed on top of a circular plate.
2. Add 11 parts water, then 2 parts cereal, using a mix of ancient Babylonian and traditional Japanese volumetric units (bonus points if you don’t actually convert them).
3. Heat in the oven at 709 °R for exactly 73,037 ms. (Is that a decimal or thousand separator? Ask your local mathematics teacher.)
4. Once heated, let it cool to exactly room temperature by placing it outside (regardless of the weather).
5. Add a generous layer of cold ketchup on top, forming a smiley face.

Optional: Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve with a side of existential dread. Bon appétit!

Put cereal in bowl, add milk until cereal is almost completely covered. Let sit for a minute to let cereal soak up some milk. This is for mini wheats mixed with another cereal. Mini wheats need a little soaking.

By volume, usually I stop pouring milk when it covers approximately 4/5 of the cereal. That makes it so when I put my spoon in it, the cereal at the very top will also absorb some milk.

Just add milk until the entire pile of cereal starts to lift. Usually when the milk reaches the base level of the cereal itself.

You mean cereal/water ratio, right?

The correct ratio is the ratio you want.

Add milk until it becomes visible.

this is a very personal decision. its like how much milk or sugar to put into cofee or tea.

2 boxes cereal per gallon of milk

If you can’t see the milk, too little. If the bowl can possibly overflow while you’re eating, too much. Can’t give an exact ratio, but that’s the line I live on.

Assuming enough of both, i still randomly pick between under, over, and evenly milked.

I just fill the bowl with a lot of milk then take the box of cereal with me, and keep refilling until either I’m full or the milk’s all gone.

Straight cereal. Milk is for putting chocolate in.

Sometimes I just eat the cereal without milk

1 cup cereal, 1tsp powdered milk, 1/2 cup faucet water. Make sure the water is warm so that the powdered milk mixes better.
