Do you make your porridge with milk or water?

[purplepoppy]

Regardless of what type of oats you use do you prefer your porridge made the traditional way with water and a pinch of salt or with milk? Do you add sugar or is the mere suggestion an abomination?

Personally, I use full-fat milk and a generous portion of dried fruit for added sweetness.

Milk

Water

Milk/water mix

Other liquid eg stock, beer etc

I do both depending on how heavy of a meal I feel like eating. Milk makes it richer, so if my blood sugar is low, I'll usually go with that one. But sometimes I do water if I don't want it as heavy. I think it's still good both ways. I'm not a really picky eater anyway. I have known people that will only do it one way or another, no in between.

I prefer milk but sometimes my body doesn't like it, so I have to do water. Not as good if I'm being honest.

I also use full-fat milk but I don’t use added sugar in almost any of my home cooking.

In America we call it oatmeal.
I haven't had it since I was a kid. I think my mom made it with water. Then I sprinkled it with brown sugar and poured milk on top.
I think all milk was whole milk back then.

It was good with raisins mixed in, too.

Americans, this is essentially the Brit term for oatmeal.

It's very nice with rice milk, which has a mild sweetness to it.

Normal milk is just gross.

Water is just peasanty.

Milk. It gives more flavor then water. My parents use water and they didn't like how i make my oatmeal, thick, chia seeds/flax/hemp, cinnamon and sugar

Depending on the type of porridge I either use milk, or beer and water.
