Step 1:

How do you cook Artek wheat porridge in milk? Start by gathering your ingredients. You can use milk of any fat content, and you can adjust the ratio of milk to water however you like—or even skip the water and use all milk. I'll be using 2% milk and a little water.
Step 2:

Pour the milk and water into a small saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and 1–2 tablespoons of sugar; sweeten it to your taste, adding a little more or less. Set the pan over the heat and bring it to a boil, stirring so the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3:

While the milk heats, prepare the groats. Rinse them a few times in water, then drain completely—tip the grain into a fine sieve and let all the water run off.
Step 4:

Once the milk comes to a boil, stir in all the rinsed groats. Cook the porridge for 10 minutes, stirring gently the whole time so no skin forms on the milk.
Step 5:

By now the wheat groats will have swelled noticeably. Take the pan off the heat, cover it, and let the porridge rest for another 10–15 minutes—on the stove or wrapped in a warm towel.
Step 6:

The porridge soaks up the remaining milk and thickens. The longer it sits, the thicker it gets; if you'd like it looser, stir in a little hot milk.
Step 7:

Spoon the finished wheat porridge into bowls. Add a pat of butter or some fresh berries if you like. This tasty porridge is sure to become an everyday favorite. Enjoy!

For cooking, it's best to use filtered or bottled water with a neutral taste. Tap water can give the dish an off, characteristic flavor.
You can use a sugar substitute in place of sugar.
