STEPS TO PREPARING MIXED CEREAL

1. Purchase the cereals, separate the chaff, and wash the cereals with water.

2. Dry the cereals. Use an oven or any means of drying known to you. But I used the primitive method for drying, that is, setting up the fire with firewood, then putting the cereals in a drying pot and placing it on fire, stirring it until it is completely dried.

3. Grind the cereals all together, then you will have a powder-mixed cereal.

4. Scoop your powder-mixed cereal into a small pot, add clean water to it, and stir, then place it on fire and continue stirring till you have a molten form of it. Note that the quantity of water should complement the quantity of the mixed cereal.

5. Turn your molten mixed cereal into your eating plate, add the right quantity of milk, and enjoy the palatable taste.

Note: Step 2 is a method of preservation.

Mixed cereal is another method of enjoying cereals; it is nutritionally beneficial, builds the body, and gives consumers healthy skin. Mixed cereal is especially good for babies who are no longer satisfied with just drinking milk. Since their foods need to mostly be in molten form, mixed cereal proves to be suitable because of its nutritional benefits; it would enrich your baby.

Thanks very much!
