In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats with the flour and acidic medium, and enough water to cover. Cover the bowl and soak the oats for at least 8 hours, or overnight, at room temperature (NOT in the fridge!).
In the morning, drain the oats and rinse them well.
Add the oats, milk, and salt to a pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn down the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the oats reach the desired consistency.
Serve with add-ins of choice. Enjoy!
