Notes
- *Use old-fashioned rolled oats (or jumbo oats). I do not recommend using instant oats (they produce a mushy texture). Use gluten free oats if required.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the type of oats you use as well as personal preference.
- Adjust the amount of milk to suit your taste.
- You can also change the ratio of milk to water (mine is based on personal preference).
- Chai oatmeal is best served immediately. It will thicken as it cools so add a splash of milk or water when reheating it.
- Refrigerate leftovers for up to a day.
- Not suitable for freezing.
