Date and Chai Porridge

Bring the Eastern flavours to your breakfast table with this lightly spiced, molasses rich porridge.


Ingredients

Serves 1

Porridge

  • 1 chai tea bag

  • 4 dates

  • 1/2 cup boiling water

  • 1/2 cup oats

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • Pinch of salt

Topping

  • Yoghurt

  • Dates, chopped

  • Seeds

  • Drizzle with honey

(Notes on substitutions found below the method)

Method:



  1. Place tea bag and dates in a bowl and pour the boiling. Leave to stand for 5 minutes.

  2. Remove the teabag. Mash the dates into the water, so they break down a little. Then add the datey water to the rest of the porridge ingredients. On the hob: place the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy. In the microwave: place the ingredients in a microwave proof bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute, give it a good stir for 30s minutes. Put back in the microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy.



  1. Top with yoghurt, dates, seeds and honey and/or peanut butter.

Notes and substitutions:

  • Tea: you could also try with Earl Grey or English Breakfast

  • Oats: I use regular porridge oats, but you can use any type. Just adjust the cooking time.

  • Milk: Any milk works, including soy and nut milks.

  • Honey: You can replace with the same quantity of any sweetener (maple syrup, sugar etc)
