Chai CARDAMOM Chia SEED PUDDING

3/21/2019

 
Picture
This is a tasty, creamy option for anyone working on eating whole foods and wanting gluten-free/grain-free breakfasts and/or snacks. 

Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp loose leaf chai tea (and a tea steeper) or 1 bag chai tea
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or coconut, cashew…whatever you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp chia seeds (really, that's all you need)
  • 1 tsp cardamom spice
Other toppings: carob powder, pecans, blueberries, ginger, etc. 

Recipe:
  1. Put the loose leaf tea (with steeper) or your bagged tea into a pot with the dairy-free milk, water and cardamom spice.
  2. Simmer on low for about 10 minutes. Watch until it bubbles and becomes a lovely brown color.
  3. Remove from heat and let it cool. Transfer to a container about 1 1/2 cups capacity (a lidded jar or large mug works well.) 
  4. Stir in the chia seeds. If you have a secure lid, consider shaking the mixture so it mixes well.
  5. Put in the fridge to gel overnight.
  6. Add your favorite toppings in the morning.
​
Note: This recipe is not recommended for an Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) diet as it includes chia seeds which are not part of that plan.
