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

    Perfect every time. 👌

      This is my way of doing it too, but at the end always a lot of milk remains in the bowl and I have to refill it with cereal multiple times.

      If I add less milk in the first place, then for the major part of the cereal it’ll feel like I haven’t added any milk at all. Weird stuff.

    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.

    I don’t know but for me having the ratio hit at the end of my meal could take just a bowl or a whole box. But I ain’t stoppin’ until the cereal and the milk are gone at the same 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!

    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.

    You mean cereal/water ratio, right?

      You’re eating too much cereal my friend. Try using an 8:2 ratio for a few days and see if you feel better.

        This guy coming over here not knowing what a zero is and trying to dunk on me. What a sad little guy.

        You might want to eat some more cereal and get that brain working, friend.

    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.
