Start by adding water, milk, bay leaf and salt to a heavy sauce- pan.
Bring to a boil.
Gradually whisk in the grits, until you have added the whole thing in the pot, a little at a time.
Keep stirring with a whisk to prevent any lumps.
You may have to remove sauce- pan from heat while trying to get rid of lumps – if needed.
Reduce heat and cook grits at a bare simmer, covered, stirring frequently, until water is fully absorbed and grits thickened. This will take you about 15 minutes.
