Introduction

Everyone knows the health benefits of oatmeal. Well, this recipe kicks up those benefits and adds tons of extra flavor by using flavored teas to cook the oatmeal, instead of water! I know it sounds a little bizarre, but try it once. This recipe uses my new favorite flavor, Apple Cinnamon Tea. (Bonus: It smells wonderful!!) Everyone knows the health benefits of oatmeal.

In my microwave, this takes 2 1/2 minutes.

All the extras are yours to mix and match with the tea flavor you choose. The possibilities are limitless!
