Prepare the Cereal Milk: In a large bowl or pitcher, combine the fruity cereal and whole milk. Stir gently and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the milk to absorb the cereal flavor. Strain the milk through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing gently on the cereal to extract all the liquid. Discard the cereal. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of cereal milk.
