Alice'S Grits

1. 1

   Boil 2 1/2 cups of water (or combine 1/2 cup whole milk, 2 cups water) and add a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Put the pan on the stove and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of grits and whisk to prevent clumping. Add a couple diced cloves of garlic, if desired.

3. 3

   Whisk occasionally, and cook another 10-15 minutes, sample and continue to cook as needed.

4. 4

   Remove the pan from the heat as soon as the grits finish cooking. Add 1 tbsp. of butter (or bacon grease) and stir until it melts.

5. 5

   For cheese grits, add a cup of shredded cheddar.

6. 6

   Chopped basil will make it extra special.
