There's nothing as comforting as a warm bowl of hojicha oatmeal on a cold morning. Roasted green tea is a deliciously healthy alternative to those artificial flavors found in instant oatmeal packets. The best part about cooking rolled oats on a stovetop is being rewarded with a perfectly creamy bowl of oatmeal every single time.
The secret to a creamier consistency is combining the oats with the cold liquids before cooking, and letting the oats stand for a few minutes to thicken. While the toppings are completely optional, adding them isn’t just for making your oatmeal bowl picture perfect as they also provide extra nutrition and contrasting textures.
