Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the steel cut oats and and salt. Stir.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 30 minutes. Make sure you stir the oats occasionally so they don't stick to the pan.
• When the oats start to thicken, at about 30 minutes, add in the milk and extract. I think the milk makes the oats creamier. Stir the oats, milk, and extract together and cook for ten more minutes.
• Add in cinnamon and raisins or whatever toppings you wish.
• (If you want to make bruleed oats-put the oats in a bowl, sprinkle with brown sugar and turbinado sugar. With a creme brulee torch, fire the top of the oats until the sugar is crystalized).
