Ingredients

2 cups water

3 rooibos tea bags

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Fine sea salt

Topping suggestions:

Unsweetened coconut flakes

Toasted pecans for topping

Fruit (bananas, blueberries, strawberries all work well)

Drizzle of honey

Directions

1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags.

2. Return the pan to heat and bring it to a boil again. Once boiling, add in the oatmeal and a pinch of salt, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for 7-10 mins, uncovered, until most of the water is absorbed. Add milk and cook for 3-5 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

3. To serve divide the oatmeal and top with the suggested toppings.
