Method
 

How to Make It
    Step 1: Mix
    1. Combine everything in a jar.
    2. Give it a good stir. Or, if you’re feeling wild, screw the lid on and shake it like you’re making a cocktail. (Just... hold the lid tight.)
    Step 2: Chill
    1. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours — overnight’s ideal.
    2. It’ll look runny at first, but by morning, it’s transformed. Creamy, thick, satisfying.
    Step 3: Stir & Top
    1. Open the jar, give it a quick stir, and top it with whatever you’ve got lying around — fruit, nuts, jam, chocolate chips, peanut butter, even a little cinnamon.
    2. Take a bite. Smile. Breakfast: done.
