Hibiscus Chia Pudding

5 min

This pudding is a gluten-free treat with a floral twist. It's both sweet and tart, and reminds us of fruit punch Jello. Simply steep Hibiscus in hot water, combine with chia seeds and agave, and refrigerate overnight for a luscious pudding that will make breakfast a breeze. It's a nostalgic, no-heat-required meal that's easy to prep and even easier to eat. Garnish with yogurt and raspberries for a burst of flavor. Substitute coconut yogurt to make this one vegan-friendly.  If you like to meal prep, a triple batch will keep well and make enough for several days. Enjoy!

Spice Cream

February 4th is National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. If you're not making your ice cream into SPICE cream, you're definitely missing out. Here are some of our favorite (and unexpected!) flavor combos for you to try at home.With Vanilla: Madras Curry may surprise you as a pairing for ice cream (it surprised us too!) but once you taste it, it's impossible to deny. The bright pop of ginger and warm hint of cinnamon make it an ideal topping for vanilla. The two flavors combined will leave you with a slight hint of citrus on your tongue. Hojicha is a roasted green tea finely milled that brings a smooth, earthy, and nutty flavor to your bowl of vanilla. It's the perfect way to start the day! Cinnamon Toast Spice is such an obvious winner on vanilla ice cream, you're probably wondering why you hadn't thought of it yourself! The warm flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar pair well with your ice cream while evoking all the flavors of your favorite breakfast. With Chocolate: Kashmiri Garam Masala is deep and dark roasted with warm spices like cinnamon. Cloves make this blend intensely flavorful. Mouth wateringly aromatic, our Garam Masala brings out the best in chocolate. Alderwood Smoked Salt has an incredible amount of flavor in a single ingredient! Salty with a hint of campfire, this topping balances the richness in the chocolate. Urfa Biber is truly a unicorn of a chile. Naturally earthy with hints of tobacco, it will give you a mellow kick of heat that instantly gets cooled by the ice cream.

Irish Potato Candy

A bit of a misnomer, these candies contain no potato or are from Ireland! They have Philadelphia roots and resemble an adorable spud and no heat is required. The inside is a mixture of coconut and cream cheese and they get their festive green color from Matcha green tea. A quick roll in some cinnamon and these bite size treats are great for any St. Patrick's Day celebration.

Irish Breakfast Butter Pudding

Buttered toast somehow gets better. This dessert is a classic, indulgent and simple. We steeped Irish Breakfast tea into the custard making it more robust and malty. Raisins are traditionally the dried fruit of choice, but here we used dried cranberries to add bursts of fruit between every bite.

Rosy Yogurt Bark

No wonder yogurt bark has gone viral! It tastes like you are indulging and no cooking is involved. All you need is a sheet pan and yogurt at the base. Here I tried to mimic the flavors of granola by using crunchy almonds and dates for sweetness. It makes the perfect snack with added fruitiness from raspberries and the mix of creamy and cold frozen yogurt. Since we always spice it up, we sprinkled in Roses, which make this snack beautiful and taste like a fancy dessert.

Any Tea Chinese Paper-Wrapped Spongecakes

"This is one of my favorite Chinese bakery recipes. As a child, having one of these spongecakes was never enough. They’re also perfect for my palate, not too sweet, and never frosted. Imagine marshmallows and clouds had babies; those babies would be these spongecakes.Traditionally, these are egg and vanilla flavored when you find them in Hong Kong or US Chinatown bakeries. To celebrate Lunar New Year, I’ve infused the milk with tea from World Spice Merchants to make these delicious and auspicious treats. Now we can have tea and fluffy soft spongecakes at the same time. “Work smarter, not harder,” is my motto this year of the rabbit!"Bio: About Kat Lieu - the doyenne and Queen of Asian baking, Kat Lieu is the founder of Subtle Asian Baking and modernasianbaking.com.

Fluffy-Like-A-Cloud Chiffon Cake

"From the late 1930s to early 1940s, Ah Ma, my paternal grandmother, learned culinary secrets from restaurants in Vietnam. She passed down only one written recipe, a lemon chiffon cake recipe that I always turn to and treasure. I use about half of the ingredients she used in her recipe (she used 10 to 12 eggs!), and instead of lemon, this regal cloud of a cake is tea-flavored and will serve as the perfect sweet treat or gift during Lunar New Year."
