Oatmeal Water

Oatmeal water is occasionally ordered for dyspeptic patients, but more frequently used for the workman on the road or the farmer in the field. In the hottest days of summer, oatmeal water may be drunk with safety where ice water would be extremely dangerous.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fine oatmeal
• 2 quarts water (which has been boiled and cooled)

Instructions

Add oatmeal to water, and keep in a warm place (at temperature of 80° F.) one and one-half hours. Strain and cool.
