Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)

1 tea bag of choice (chai, Earl Grey, or herbal blend)

1½ cups liquid (water, milk, or a mix)

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: berries, chocolate chips, cinnamon, nut butter

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, bring the liquid (water/milk or mix) to a near boil.
  2. Add the tea bag and steep for 3–5 minutes, adjusting time based on desired strength.
  3. Remove the tea bag and stir in oats and a pinch of salt.
  4. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are soft and creamy.
  5. Spoon into bowls and add toppings of choice.

Notes

  • Use chai for warm spice, or Earl Grey for floral citrus notes.
  • Simmer in milk for a richer, creamier oatmeal.
  • Try herbal teas like peppermint or chamomile for a lighter flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat with a splash of liquid.
  • Use pre-steeped tea or steep directly with oats for different flavor intensity.
