Making your own muesli is quick and easy, and you can change the ingredients and alter the proportions to suit yourself. .PP After a few experiments, I've settled on this recipe: .IH "4 cups" "2 liters" .IG "3 cups" "rolled oats" "250 g" .IG "1 cup" "assorted dried fruit" "100 g" .IG "1 cup" "bran" "50 g" .IG "\(14 cup" "sesame seeds" "50 g" .IG "\(12 cup" "nuts" "75 g" .IG "\(34 cup" "shelled sunflower seeds" "100 g" .IG "1 cup" "banana chips" "60 g" .PH .SK 1 Mix all ingredients together. .SK 2 Serve (about 5 heaped dessertspoons seems about the right amount) with milk, cream, yoghurt, or whatever you like on breakfast cereal. I've heard that fruit juice is an alternative, but I haven't tried it. .NX Use your own choice of dried fruits. I like to cut 4 or 5 pieces of dried apricot into slivers, making up the balance with sultanas or raisins. I generally use unsalted peanuts, but I'm sure most nuts would be fine (how about almonds?). One word of warning: if you use quick-cooking oats instead of rolled oats, the result is decidedly mushy. .SH RATING .I Difficulty: easy. .I Time: 5 minutes. .I Precision: No need to measure. .WR Stephen Withers University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia stephenw@murdu.oz
