Apple Cider Tea-Infused Oatmeal

 

Apple cider tea oatmeal is a quick and easy fall breakfast made in the microwave or on the stove top. Infused with apple cider tea and topped with crisp apples and cranberries, it’s ready in minutes and adds a seasonal twist to classic oatmeal.


What You'll Need (1 serving)

  • ½ cup quick oats

  • 1 cup strong apple cider tea (I used Republic of Tea)

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

  • Chopped apple, dried cranberries



How to Make Apple Cider Tea Oatmeal

  1. Brew the apple cider tea.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine oats, tea, salt and cinnamon.
  3. Microwave on high for 1½ to 2 minutes, then stir.
  4. Let stand 1 minute to thicken.
  5. Top with apples and dried cranberries.
  6. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey. 


Tips & Variations

  • Stovetop: Simmer the tea, then stir in oats and salt. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until creamy.
  • Use rolled oats instead of quick oats and simmer 5 to 7 minutes until creamy.

  • Add extra spices such as nutmeg or allspice with the cinnamon.

  • Swap toppings with granola, pumpkin seeds, toasted pecans or raisins.

Strawberry Pizzelles

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside.
