Tea-Spiced Oatmeal

This has been my favorite breakfast for the last 3 weeks.  I can't get enough!  I believe I came up with the idea at home when I was pondering what to have for breakfast on a rainy Sunday morning.  I can't type hard enough to express how good it is!

Also, this barely counts as a recipe, but screw it - it's tasty and was a good idea.



And it's easy-peasy:

2 cups hot tea
1/2 dry oatmeal
1 c. fresh fruit, in a flavor that compliments your tea

Prepare a cup or two of STRONG tea in your choice of flavor (I use Good Earth Original - very strong cinnamon, anise, ginger flavors).  Let it steep for extra long, and use double the amount of tea leaves / bags that you would for just a cuppa. Add 1/2 c. dry oatmeal (I use Quaker 1-Minute).  Add in a cup of chopped fruit.  Microwave for a minute or 2 to heat your fruit through.  Bon appetite!

Some flavor ideas: Mint tea & blueberries; Raszzberry Zinger & raspberries; Green tea & mango; Mandarin Orange Spice tea & raisins.  You get the idea...

bonus: caffeinated breakfast ftw!

215 calories w/ 1 apple.  Check the calorie content of your fruit.  Oatmeal is 150 calories per 1/2 c. dry
