One part dry farina to two parts liquid - in other words, half a cup of farina plus one cup of milk or water. Milk makes a richer tasting cereal. (I do not have any experience with soy or other milk substitutes.) Add a little dash of salt. (Not essential, but improves the flavor.) Cook gently over medium heat for 5 to 20 minutes depending on the variety of farina you have - taste from time to time to check. Serve with sweetener (brown sugar, honey, regular sugar) and additional milk if you wish.

Watch out for: If you use milk, don't set the heat too high or the milk can burn. If you over-cook or use too high a heat setting the farina can dry out and get rubbery.

Farina is a perfect baby food for one just starting to eat solids, and for anyone with an upset tummy. If you are getting over a gastrointestinal disease it is very gentle on the system. But it is very good for everyone, and is nutritious as well.
