Set yourself up for the day with this very pleasing variation on oatmeal. It has a delicate flavor which you wouldn’t immediately recognize as Earl Grey and which contrasts deliciously with the berries and nuts.
Serves 2
1 Earl Grey tea bag
1 cup low-fat milk
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 heaping tbsp rolled oats
6 oz raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries
3 tbsp full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp chopped pecans
Steep the tea bag in 1/4 cup of boiling water for 1 minute, then stir with a teaspoon and press out excess fluid before discarding the bag.
Place the milk, chia seeds, oats, berries (reserving a few for garnish) and tea in a small saucepan and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Let it cool slightly before transferring to a bowl.
Stir in the yogurt and cool the mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes or longer, to allow it to set a little. Top it with the remaining berries and sprinkle with the nuts.
