Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup of Pu Erh tea leaves or tea bags

3. Spread Nut Butter: Once the toast is ready, spread about 1 tablespoon of nut butter on each slice evenly.
4. Add Optional Toppings: For extra flavor and nutrients, add sliced bananas, berries, a drizzle of honey, or sprinkle chia seeds on top of the nut butter.
