If you like the refreshing and spicy taste of chai half as much as I do, then you're going to love how easy and good this is! I make up a batch once of twice a month and then enjoy my chai. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg |
1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk (sweetened or unsweetened) |
strong black tea (regular or decaf) or herbal tea (regular or decaf) |
Directions:
1. Pour condensed milk and spices into the blender and blend on high speed for a few seconds until the milk looks evenly flecked with spices.
2. Pour mixture into a clean jar or container with a lid.
3. Refrigerate at least 24 hours.
4. Alternatively, pour mix into ice cube trays and freeze.
5. To use concentrate: Brew a strong black tea or strong herbal tea of your choice.
6. Stir in 1 frozen concentrate cube or 1/2 to 2 teaspoons of chai concentrate mix per cup of freshly steeped tea.
7. Frozen cubes will keep up to one year in the freezer if you pop them out of the trays and store in a freezer bag.
8. Concentrate will keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
