TEA AND PEAR OATS 

Prep time: 5 minutes 

Cooking time: 10–15 minutes 

Servings: 2 

Ingredients 

• 1 cup freshly brewed vanilla-flavored tea 

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 

• 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats 

• 1 can unsweetened pear halves, drained and rinsed 

• ½tsp salt • ½tsp ground cinnamon

 • 1 heaped tsp almond butter 

• 1 tbsp vanilla essence 

• 1 tbsp caramel essence 

• 1 tbsp rawhoney 

• fresh mint for garnishing Instructions Allow the tea to brew for about 10 minutes while cooling off. Heat the almond milk in a large saucepan over medium heat to about the same temperature as the tea. Add the tea to the milk and then stir in the oats. Add the pears, salt, cinnamon, almond butter, vanilla essence, caramel essence, and honey, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken. Garnish with fresh mint and serve immediately while lovely and warm. 

Note: If vanilla-flavored tea is unavailable, you may use plain tea, although the vanilla does add a certain “wow” factor.
