Ingredients
  

  • 2 Chai Tea Bags
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 tsp Chai Spic Mix
  • 2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
  • 3 cups Milk (your choice) I did 1 cup almond milk and 2 cups 2% Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Star of Anise
  • 2 cardamom pods (slightly crushed)

"EXTRAS"

  • Chopped Pecans
  • Coconut Palm Sugar or Brown Sugar
  • Real Maple Syrup

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pan, bring water, milk, star of anise, cardamom pods, chai seasoning and tea bags to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and let simmer for 3-4 minutes. Make sure you stir constantly because you don't want the milk to burn to the bottom of the pan. Remove the tea bags, star of anise and cardamom pods. Then, stir in oats.  Cook until thick, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract and serve. 

"Extra"

  • Just some ideas on additional toppings because there is no sugar in this recipe. You can eat the oatmeal as is or do the "EXTRA"
    I added chopped pecans, coconut palm sugar and a drizzle of real maple syrup to mine.
