How to make chocolate peppermint oats

In a saucepan, combine the brewed peppermint tea with plant based milk, cacao powder and additional peppermint flavoring if desired. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, add your oats and reduce the pot to a low heat. Cover and stir the oats occasionally for roughly 15 minutes, or until the oats are tender and chewy looking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow to sit covered for 5 minutes. Once cooled, serve your chocolate peppermint oats with fresh berries, plant-based whipped cream, and maple syrup.
