1 ½ cups Unsweetened Soy Milk (or milk of choice)
¼ cup whole dates, pitted
8 Chai Tea bags, regular or decaf

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine chia seeds and water. Stir and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine soy milk and dates. Bring to a simmer, remove from heat, and steep tea bags in milk for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat waffle maker, if needed.
Squeeze all liquid from tea bags and discard. Pour chai milk and dates into a blender, and blend on high until smooth.

Mist waffle maker with non-stick cooking spray if needed. Add about ½ cup of the waffle mixture to the waffle maker, and cook according to manufacturer's directions, until done. Repeat 3 more times.
Meanwhile, preheat grill on medium heat.
Combine peach slices, ginger, and oil, and mix well.
Grill peach slices over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes on each side.
