Yuck, that's how my mum makes it, with water and salt (the Scottish way!)

I'm an English softie and prefer it with milk and honey

Good idea about mixing it half with water and half milk though.

It is definitely nicer with half water and half milk. A touch of salt does make it taste nicer but add some spice: cinnamon, Ginger, nutmeg, etc and it takes it to a whole different level. My kids actually beg me to make this. They call it winter porridge, mmmm!
