teas.co.uk · 15 min + 30 min bake · Makes about 600g

You'll need

• 2 Good Earth Rooibos Chai tea bags
• 80ml just boiled water
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil or sunflower oil
• 350g jumbo porridge oats
• 100g mixed nuts and seeds (almonds, pecans, pumpkin)
• 50g sultanas or raisins, stirred in after baking
• A pinch of salt

Method

1. Steep the 2 bags in 80ml just boiled water for 5 minutes for a strong, deeply spiced brew, then squeeze and remove.
2. Whisk the brew with the maple syrup, oil and pinch of salt in a small bowl to make the granola syrup.
3. Heat the oven to 150C fan, 170C conventional, gas 3, and line a large tray.
4. In a big bowl mix the oats and nuts and seeds, then pour the syrup over and stir thoroughly so every flake is coated.
5. Spread on the tray in an even layer, bake 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once at 15 minutes for even golden colour.
6. Cool completely on the tray (it crisps as it cools), then stir in the sultanas. Store in an airtight jar 3 weeks.
