Chai Oatmeal

Rolled oats simmered in sweet, spice-infused milk make an exquisite breakfast cereal. Oat bran not only boosts the fiber, it also makes the oatmeal creamy and thick.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups 2% or whole milk (Organic Valley Dairy)
1/4 teaspoon salt (Hain Sea Salt)
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Frontier)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (Organic)
2 teaspoons honey, plus more to taste Organic Maple Syrup
1/8 teaspoon Organic Vanilla Extract*
3/4 cup Rolled Oats*
2 tablespoons Oat Bran*

Combine the milk, salt, and spices in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly; add the honey, vanilla (if desired), oats, and bran (if desired), and stir until combined. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oatmeal is thick and creamy. Serve hot with additional honey to taste.
