Spiced Chai Porridge
A stovetop oat porridge made with milk and spiced chai powder, finished with golden syrup, grated apple and toasted almonds.
Porridge is the breakfast a cold morning calls for, and this one runs warm chai spice through every spoonful: a stovetop bowl made with whole milk for body, the spiced chai powder stirred in at the end. Rolled oats simmered gently in milk, then finished with golden syrup and a good grating of fresh apple.

The grated apple lifts the chai spice better than any dried sweetener, and a scatter of toasted almonds gives it some crunch.
You'll need
- 25g Drink Me Chai Spiced Chai Latte powder (1 standard serving)
- 50g rolled porridge oats (not jumbo, not steel cut)
- 300ml whole milk
- 1 tablespoon of golden syrup
- Half a fresh red apple (about 75g), with skin on
- 1 small handful of toasted flaked almonds (about 15g)
- 1 warm porridge bowl
- 1 small heavy based saucepan (about 16cm diameter)
Method
- Put the oats and milk into a small heavy based saucepan while the milk is still cold.
- Set over medium low heat and stir gently in slow circles as it warms, so the oats do not settle on the base.
- Bring to a soft simmer, then lower the heat and cook for about six minutes, stirring now and then, until thick and creamy.
- Shower in the chai powder and stir hard for thirty seconds until it is fully through and the porridge deepens in colour.
- Off the heat, stir the golden syrup through.
- Spoon into a warm bowl.
- Grate the apple, skin on, straight over the top, then scatter over the toasted almonds.
- Tip: grate the apple at the last minute so it stays fresh and does not brown.
