Ingredients

- 1 tea bag
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon pepitas

- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Brew the Tea

3. Cook the Porridge
- Stir in 1 cup of oats and 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the saucepan. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened.

4. Add Sweetness and Spice
- Incorporate 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of Swasti's chai spice blend, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and 1/8 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Stir constantly to blend flavors evenly.

5. Mix in Nuts and Seeds
- Add 1 tablespoon of pepitas, 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds, 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts, 2 tablespoons of pecans, and 2 tablespoons of slivered almonds to the porridge. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, stirring well to ensure even distribution.
