Chai Overnight Oat Parfait

 

I love Chai tea. It tastes like Christmas, all warming spices. So I made it into Overnight Oats.

 

You can easily change up the add ins, nuts and fruit work best. Maybe pears, apples, raisins and pecans, almonds or walnuts.

Chai Overnight Oat Parfait

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup/40g Rolled Oats
Pinch of Salt
1/2 Tsp Cinnamon, to taste
2 Chai Tea Bags, or Black tea bags but then you have to add the spices
1/2 Cup Boiling water
1/4 Cup/60ml Milk of Choice
1 Tsp Chia Seeds
1-2 Tsp Maple Syrup or Sweetener of Choice, to taste
Optional: 1 TBSP Yogurt of Choice (Just for extra creaminess), I use Greek

Layers:
1/2 Cup Yogurt of Choice, I use Greek- Mixed with Sweetener to taste
Handful of Chopped Pistachios
Handful of Dried Apricots

Method:

1. Pour boiling water over the tea bags and let steep for about 10 minutes. Remove the bags and put in the fridge to cool completely (10-20 minutes) you only need 1/3 Cup of the tea water. (Drink the rest). Mix all the ingredients in a jar/bowl/jug/container of choice. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least four hours.

2. In the morning add more milk to the oats to a consistency you like. Layer up. Enjoy!
