my not-so-ordinary oatmeal

Happy New Year!  During colder months we indulge in this luxe version of oatmeal.  Per serving:  the night before, I combine 1/2 c. regular oats, 1/2 c. milk and 1 Tbs. water in the pot that I will cook them in.  Stir and refrigerate overnight.  To cook and serve (the next morning), I add another 1/2 c. of milk, pinch of salt, dash of cinnamon, 1 Tbs. brown sugar and 1 Tbs. maple syrup.  Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.  Remove from the heat, cover, and let set about 1 minute.  Delicious.
