Combine coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.

Remove from heat and add tea leaves (loose or teabags) to the saucepan. Let steep while covered for 10 minutes.

Strain tea leaves or remove tea bags, and return mixture to a simmer.

Add oats and cook on low, stirring constantly, until the oats are softened and the mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes.

Serve hot with honey or maple syrup if desired.
