Nice recipe, thank you! I tweaked a few things when I made it (below). The tea gave the oatmeal a nutty brown color and it tasted great.

Put 4 teaspoons of cinnamon tea in a cup infuser and place in a largish microwave bowl. Add 1/4 cup craisins and 2 cups of boiling water. Cover the bowl and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the infuser, retaining the tea for a second brew if you like. It should now taste a bit of cranberry from the plumping fruit, but I haven't tried it yet. Add 1 cup of oatmeal, a pinch of salt and 2 teaspoons of sweetener to the microwave bowl. I used Splenda. Microwave on high for three minutes. Stir. Microwave another two minutes. Stir and spoon into two cereal bowls.
