Copy Cat of Original Oregon Chai Tea - I found this on a bulletin board called 'real food'. Since I love Oregon Chai, I thought I'd give it a try. I liked that they used honey instead of refined sugar, but I'm sure you could sub in sugar or a substitute. Enjoy. Ingredients:
4 1/2 inches fresh ginger (use vegetable peeler) |
1 -2 cinnamon stick |
4 whole cloves |
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder |
1 vanilla bean (cut up into 1 in. pieces) |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/4 cup honey |
3 regular sized bigelow darjeeling blend tea bags or 3 other black tea bags |
2 cups water |
2 cups milk (can use soymilk if prefer) |
Directions:
1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and toss in teabags then all other ingredients in order above. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add milk and bring to boil, then take off heat. Strain through strainer or coffee filters and serve hot or in a tall glass filled with ice.
2. Refrigerate unused portion. To reheat, you may either heat any conventional way, or froth with cappucino maker!
