Alternative to Postum

If you are a Postum fan, you have been disappointed that Postum is no longer on the market. Here is an alternative to Postum (pictured above):

Boil a cup of water in the microwave (I use the small pitcher pictured above).
Add to a coffee cup: a heaping teaspoonful of Pero (available from Amazon), a level teaspoonful of coffee creamer, 1/4 teaspoonful of sugar, and a dash of nutmeg. Similar to Pero is Inka, available at Inka from Adamba.
Pour the boiling water into the coffee cup. Add some milk and stir.

Whole-grain cereal

Add 1/2 cup of water to 2 coffee scoops (1/4 cup) of oatmeal in a LARGE cereal bowl. Microwave for 2-3/4 minutes.

For flavor add

-1 heaping teaspoonful of sugar
-some milk
-some chopped almonds (or whole almonds) (bake raw almonds in the oven for an hour at 250 degrees)

My favorite cold cereal is Clusters (General Mills).

Nuts chopped in nut chopper. Electric nut choppers are available at http://www.giantsavings.com. Recommended: Black & Decker Handy Chopper Plus

To keep Mr. Coffee coffee pot from dripping brewed coffee down the sides of the coffee pot, pull on the stopper of the basket and rinse the drain hole after removing the coffee grounds.
