Earl Grey tea brings a sophisticated floral note to classic overnight oats. Plant milk steeped with tea bags creates a fragrant base for rolled oats, chia seeds, and creamy plant yogurt. Maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the earthy flavors. These jars are perfect to prep on a Sunday night for quick weekday breakfasts or easy afternoon snacks. The chia seeds thicken the mixture overnight, resulting in a rich, pudding-like texture that pairs beautifully with fresh berries.

Ingredients
1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened macadamia nut milk (or other plant milk)
2 Earl Grey tea bags
1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
½ cup (120 g) plain unsweetened plant yogurt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon whole chia seeds
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1Wash and prepare the fresh berries for serving.
2Heat the macadamia nut milk or preferred plant milk until steaming. Submerge the Earl Grey tea bags in the hot milk and steep for five minutes. Discard the tea bags and allow the infused milk to cool for another five minutes.
3Transfer the cooled tea-infused milk to a mixing bowl. Stir in the rolled oats, plant yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
4Allow the mixture to sit for two to three minutes, then give it another stir to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Divide the oat mixture between two jars, secure the lids, and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
5Enjoy the oats straight from the jars or transfer them to bowls and garnish with the prepared fresh berries.
