    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.

    Pour cereal. Pour milk. As soon as boyancy causes the cereal to rise, stop pouring the milk.

    Perfect every time. 👌

    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!

    Just enough so that, by the time I finish the cereal, there’s only a little milk left.

    Edit: The way I do it is to have a layer of granola on the bottom, then a layer of whatever floaty cereal on top. When I fill it with milk, it’s a little bit below the top layer so that it’s just a little less than what would make it float. That usually gives me the perfect ratio.

    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.

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

    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.

    No milk in anything for 4+ years now.

    Half a handful of:

    • fortified whatever-brand O’s
    • peanuts
    • fruit and nut trail mix
    • top off with granola
    • prefect amount of water to end with a dry bowl but only barely

    I thought my stomach issues were just a human thing. I always drank a bunch of milk. My chronic back issues from disability make me very sensitive to additional inflammation. So I tried eliminating milk one time for a few weeks to see how it affected me. It was night and day. I felt so much better that I never went back.
