Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 piece Chai tea bag
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Dried fruit or fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Once simmering, add the chai tea bag to the liquid and let it steep for 3-4 minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove the tea bag and discard.
Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the oats, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until they absorb most of the liquid and reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
Remove the oatmeal from heat and divide it between two bowls.
Optional: Top with chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or fresh fruit for added flavor and texture.
Serve warm and enjoy your cozy bowl of Chai Tea Oatmeal!
