“Back in the Chai Life Again”- Chai Soy Latte Oatmeal with Raisins, Walnuts and Almonds
So I’m officially in Los Angeles and quasi-moved into my new place. While it may be a temporary place to stay, I’ve done my share of making it feel like home. I spent more time shopping for food and cooking utensils than I did shopping for things for my bedroom.
Since I’m a Florida girl, this chilly LA weather has got me walking around my house in slippers and a robe. To help warm me up in the morning, I’ve taken my usual oatmeal and kicked it up a notch.
What You Need:
1/2 Cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats (I use Bob’s Red Mill Thick Cut Oats)
1 Cup Soy Milk (Vanilla or Originial)
1/2 Cup Water
Chai Tea (I use Celestial Seasonings Sweet Coconut Thai)
1/2-1 tbps Cinnamon
Almond/Peanut Butter (Optional)
Almonds
Walnuts
1/4 Cup Raisins
1. In a microwave safe measuring cup, combine water and soy milk and heat for about 3 minutes. Remove from microwave and place the tea packet into the measuring cup. Allow the tea to steep for about 2-3 minutes then remove tea packet.
2. Then, add the rolled oats and tea mixture to a small pot. Add the cinnamon and raisins, then stir. Set the pot on low heat and bring to a boil. Stir the oatmeal every few minutes. After about 10 minutes, or until the oatmeal is to your liking, remove from heat. Add your nuts or nut butters to the bowl, then top with a splash of soy milk.
