Ever find yourself rushing in the morning, skipping breakfast, and then regretting it by mid-morning when your stomach starts rumbling like a grumpy bear? I’ve been there, more times than I care to admit! That's why I'm absolutely head-over-heels for overnight oats. They're like a magic trick for busy bees – prepare them the night before, and boom, a healthy, delicious breakfast is ready when you wake up. But let's elevate our oatmeal game a bit, shall we? Let's talk Jasmine Green Tea Overnight Oats – it's a game-changer!
This isn't just your run-of-the-mill oatmeal; it's an experience. The subtle, sweet, and oh-so-fragrant notes of jasmine green tea intertwine with the creamy, comforting texture of oats, creating a symphony of flavors that'll wake up your senses more gently than any alarm clock ever could. The jasmine fragrance is so soothing. If you’re anything like me (a tea addict!), this is your next go-to recipe.
Plus, we're loading it up with healthy goodies like chia seeds (hello, omega-3s!), a touch of honey for sweetness (or maple syrup, if you prefer), and a handful of your favorite berries. It’s a breakfast that feels like a treat but nourishes you from the inside out. So, ditch the sugary cereals and say hello to a breakfast that's both good for you and incredibly delicious!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
**Steep the Tea:** In a heatproof jar or container (at least 16 oz capacity), add 1 jasmine green tea bag or 1 teaspoon of loose leaf tea. Pour in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes. This step is crucial for infusing the oats with that beautiful jasmine flavor. Don't rush it!
**Remove Tea Bag/Leaves:** After steeping, remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaf tea. Allow the tea to cool slightly. You don't want to add hot liquid to the other ingredients as it could affect their texture.
**Add Oats:** Pour in 1/2 cup of rolled oats (not instant!). Rolled oats provide the best texture for overnight oats, creating a creamy yet slightly chewy consistency. Trust me, its worth it.
**Add Chia Seeds:** Stir in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. These little guys are packed with fiber and omega-3s, and they also help to thicken the oats to the perfect creamy texture.
**Sweeten (Optional):** Drizzle in 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup, depending on your sweet tooth. You can also use other sweeteners like agave nectar or stevia. If you’re using fruit toppings, you may want to reduce the amount of added sweetener.
**Add Milk:** Pour in 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) of your choice. Almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk work great. Ensure all the oats are submerged in the liquid. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency. I prefer a slightly runny texture.
**Mix Well:** Stir everything together until well combined. Make sure there are no clumps of chia seeds or oats sticking to the bottom of the jar. A thorough mixing ensures that all the flavors meld together beautifully overnight.
**Refrigerate Overnight:** Cover the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the flavors of the tea and other ingredients.
**Prepare Toppings:** In the morning, take the overnight oats out of the refrigerator. Prepare your favorite toppings. Some suggestions include fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), sliced bananas, chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans), shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
**Assemble and Enjoy:** Give the oats a good stir. If they've become too thick overnight, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with your prepared toppings and enjoy your tranquil and nourishing Jasmine Green Tea Overnight Oats!
📝 Notes
For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness.
Experiment with different tea flavors like chamomile or Earl Grey.
