Introduction.
Today I am sharing a milk tea flavored overnight oats.
The flavor is somewhere between Indian Spice Milk Tea and Hong Kong Style Pearl Milk Tea, with an extra creamy and rich texture.
The next morning, you can enjoy it straight from the fridge, or you can scoop the oats into a bowl and sprinkle some 'holiday spirit' on top~!
Examples include: pearl taro balls, red beans, purple sticky rice, various fruit cut-ups, maple syrup, condensed milk, and more.
I didn't. Pity.
Ingredients
Water: 240ml, black tea leaves: 10g, sugar: 15g, milk powder: 16g, cinnamon (optional): 1/8 tsp, baking soda (optional): a pinch, old-fashioned oats: 65g, condensed milk: appropriate amount
Steps
Step 1: Choose your favorite black tea variety and brand. Pu-erh, Ceylon, Assam or Lipton...all are fine. I suggest choosing a semi-fermented type, such as Jin Jun Mei, which has the best flavor, followed by Frozen Top Oolong, Assam, Iron Goddess of Mercy, and then Puerh.
Step 2: Strain the tea, add milk powder and mix well, add sugar and mix well.
*Milk powder is recommended, followed by milk. This is because milk powder contains soy lecithin (emulsifier), which makes the milk tea silkier. Especially if you want to adjust the consistency after it has already been cooked, adding milk at this point will make the tea taste bland, so adjusting with milk powder will give you better results.
Step 3: A very small pinch of baking soda can be added to reduce any bitterness (- a tip taught by a southern Korean sweet tea master).
Step 4: In the bottom of a jar or bowl, add plain old-fashioned oats and oat bran and pour in the milk tea.
*Add more oatmeal if you want a thicker consistency; less if you like it thinner.
I also added oat bran, so if you don't have it, just switch to oatmeal.
Step 5: Refrigerate overnight, 8-10 hours.
Step 6: The next day it was fully soaked.
Step 7: You can pour the oats into a bowl and drizzle with condensed milk.
Add any toppings, such as pearl taro balls, red beans, purple glutinous rice, various fruits cut into pieces, etc.
Step 8, see a lot of sisters say overnight oats are too cold for the body, I'll start with my own opinion:
Of course I recognize that a warm bowl of oatmeal is a very healthy breakfast choice.
But overnight oats also have a miraculous effect on the health of the intestinal tract. Because of resistant starch and prebiotics!
In addition to being rich in soluble fiber, protein, and antioxidants, oats contain a variety of vitamins and minerals that promote gut health.
For those with digestive issues, soaking oats overnight helps break down starches and reduce phytic acid. This makes oats easier to digest, allows us to absorb nutrients more efficiently, and contains a higher concentration of resistant starch.
Resistant starch is a natural carbohydrate that aids in digestion and cleansing and satiety.
Step 9: Share another wild way of eating that I really like:
100ml of yogurt, add 1 tbsp of soymilk powder and mix it to make it thick and super yummy, very mousse~
Step 10: :-D
Tips
01. If you don't have milk powder, you can use 3 tbsp condensed milk + 2 tbsp milk instead of milk powder and sugar, or milk + moderate amount of whipped cream.
02. If you want it hot, you can also bring the milk tea to a boil and then lower the heat to low, then add the oats and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes until it reaches the consistency you like.
03. oatmeal: be sure to use the traditional kind of old-fashioned oatmeal or oat bran. All kinds of fancy, syrup-covered ones can be saved for TOPPING.
