Totally amazing chai tea for the connoisseur from a combination of experimenting with different chai blends and my own secret ingredients. Ingredients:
7 cups water |
4 star anise |
6 green cardamom pods |
12 cloves |
2 bay leaves |
1 cinnamon stick |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 teaspoon dried fennel |
5 pieces thinly sliced gingerroot |
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns |
2 tablespoons black tea |
1 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Boil the Chai mixture for 5 minutes and steep for 10 minutes.
2. Then bring up to the boil again and add pesticide free (or organic) high quality black tea. You can experiment with Orange Peko, Darjeeling or pure Ceylon.
3. Let the mixture steep for five minutes.
4. I then heat organic full cream milk and into a large mug (a small cup is never enough!) I gently pour the chai mix and heated milk. I like a 2/3 chai to 1/3 milk ratio. Then add Agave Syrup or organic honey to taste.
5. AMAZING!
