The popular iced beverage takes a fun twist with these Thai Tea Overnight Oats! Creamy Oats combine with brewed black tea and spices for a yummy breakfast. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 black tea bags (3 cups water)
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • 2 star anise pods (optional)
  • ½ tsp turmeric (optional, for color only)
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar*, plus more to taste
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk or coffee creamer* 
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Juice of ½ lime 
  • 3 cups quick-cooking or rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Add the black tea bags to a large bowl along with the cardamom and optional turmeric and star anise. Pour almost-boiling water over the tea, then allow it to steep for 5 minutes before removing the tea bags. Add the coconut sugar to the tea and mix until dissolved. Pour in the coconut milk, vanilla, and lime juice; stir until a uniform liquid forms.
  2. Add the oats and chia seeds to the bowl and stir well. Allow the mixture to thicken for 5 minutes, then taste the oatmeal and add any extra sweeter, if necessary. Transfer the oatmeal into individual containers, then store in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. 
  3. Top and serve as desired. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Coconut sugar can be replaced with maple syrup or another granulated sweetener, such as brown sugar. If you decide to use sweetened coffee creamer, omit the coconut sugar and sweeten to taste after you have mixed the oats and chia seeds into the tea mixture.
