    The flavors of earl grey tea and citrusy, sweet grapefruit combine into one delicious breakfast that's a big step up from your typical bowl of oatmeal!

    Why You'll Love This Oatmeal

    First of all, earl grey oatmeal. If you've never infused your breakfast with tea, it's really stinkin' good. You should absolutely try it. Especially with a little drizzle of good quality honey. BUT THEN you top it with some luxurious honey broiled grapefruit and some toasted almonds for a little crunch, and you've got a combination of flavors and textures that is absolutely divine. It's a healthy, delicious breakfast that might actually make you crave oatmeal on a weekend.

    1. Add the milk and water to a saucepan. Place the tea in the liquid and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes while the tea infuses.
    2. Remove the tea and stir in the oats. Cook, stirring, until oats have absorbed all of the liquid, about 5 minutes.
    3. Remove from heat and spoon into bowls.

    How To Make The Broiled Grapefruit Topping

    1. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 5-10 minutes at 400°F.
    2. Segment the grapefruit. Place in a baking dish and broil 5-10 minutes.
    3. Enjoy on top of the oatmeal.

    Tips For Making Delicious Oatmeal

    • Grapefruit tastes best when it is segmented correctly. Use this tutorial to learn how.
    • When heating the milk, heat it gently without bringing to a rolling boil to avoid scalding the milk.
    • For a dairy-free version, use your favorite non-dairy milk.
    • Store leftover oatmeal in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 3 days.
