Self Care is Putting a Tea Bag in Oats

We should all enter our “treat-our-bodies-gently” era (I write as I just forced my body to run 26.2 miles). Everyone around me is getting sick. The era of COVID has made me hyper-aware of every single cough and sniffle I hear. What is even the protocol for going into the office with a cold/runny nose?

I recently tried something new. Tea oatmeal. I poured my piping hot earl grey tea into my Shufu oats, and cooked it as I normally would. The teabag infuses the oatmeal with light floral/herbal undertones. If you love tea like me, you’ll think it tastes pretty incredible. I’m ready to try making Shufu with a chai tea bag next.
