Porridge Storage and Tips
Porridge should be consumed immediately, avoid storing it.
If you don’t want to use cow’s milk, you can replace it with any plant-based drink, such as soy or oat milk.
If you don’t have honey available, you can substitute it with a tablespoon of granulated sugar. Also, if you prefer, you can replace the water with milk. In short, you can get creative as much as you like!
