A woman has shared an unusual way to enhance breakfast porridge that she claims costs just one cent. Carla, known for her budget-friendly food tips on TikTok, posted a video revealing how she uses a tea bag to flavour her oats, an idea that has captured the interest of more than 200,000 viewers within days.
In the video, Carla explains her method: she places porridge oats in a bowl, adds her chosen tea bag, a sweetener, and water to allow the tea bag to brew. She then microwaves the mixture for two to three minutes, allowing the tea to infuse into the porridge. Carla recommends caramelised biscuit tea bags from Yorkshire Tea as her favourite, but notes that any flavoured tea can be used. After cooking, she tops the porridge with chopped strawberries, whey protein powder for added protein, and a sprinkle of soya crispies and pistachios.
Carla admits that removing the tea bag at the end is the only downside to the recipe, but says the result is worth it. She describes the breakfast as a creative way to add a caffeine boost to the morning routine, and suggests that coffee lovers might try a similar approach with coffee. She also wonders whether flavours like peppermint or green tea could work just as well.
The idea has sparked a range of reactions on TikTok, with many users praising the concept and offering their own suggestions. Some recommended trying matcha or chai tea for different flavours, while others shared their positive experiences with coffee-infused porridge or Earl Grey oats. Carla responded enthusiastically to the feedback, saying she was excited to experiment further.
The simple recipe has gained widespread attention for its affordability and potential to transform an everyday breakfast staple into something unique.
