Chai Overnight Oats
Make ahead overnight oats soaked in strong chai for real spice, topped with banana and almonds. Ready when you wake up.
Overnight oats are the easiest breakfast going, and a strong cup of chai is a clever way to get real spice into them without opening a cupboard of cinnamon and cardamom. You brew the chai right down, stir it through the oats with milk and yogurt, and leave it overnight to soften and take on the flavour.

By morning the oats are thick and gently spiced, ready to top with banana and almonds. It keeps for a day or two in the fridge, so it is worth making a couple of jars at once.
