Method:

Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius, line two baking trays with baking paper.

In ½ cup of boiling water, steep 2 bags of chai tea for 5-10 minutes.

In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients together, except for the raisins and set aside.   

Remove the tea bags from the water and pour into a blender, add all remaining sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth.

Add the sauce to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Then spread evenly over 2 baking trays. Cook for 15-20mins or until golden brown. While cooking ensure that you keep a close eye on it and turn granola over often. Once cooked stir through the raisins and leave to cool.
