I
always have the same thing for breakfast, a bowl of cheerios. It is getting
really boring. I decided to try and change it up a bit!
This
chai-spiced fruit compote looked like a perfect change up.
I
made it ahead so it would be quick and easy in the morning.
It really filled me up and it tastes amazing!
What
you need,
1¾
cups water
2
chai tea bags (I used TAZO)
3
tbsp. honey
½
cup dried apricots, chopped into quarters
½
cup dried pitted prunes, chopped into quarters
½
cup golden raisins
1/3
cup sliced almonds, toasted
Plain
Greek yogurt for serving
In
a medium saucepan bring water to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat and
add the tea bags. Let it steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard.
Add
the honey and chopped dried fruit to the tea. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce
heat to medium low and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Liquid will thicken and become syrupy.
Transfer
to a bowl, cover and chill for 4 hours or up to a week.
Serve
over the yogurt and sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
This
is such a great breakfast. The warm spices with the smooth creamy yogurt, and
the crunch of the almonds is perfection!

I love all things chai, especially in the mornings for some reason! This looks great. Nice mug in the pics, by the way!!
