Convenient (and relatively inexpensive) way to have chai lattes at home with this chai concentrate, a favorite tea. The cardamom can be a bit expensive; try looking in the bulk section of a health food store. If you need to buy a jar of it, don’t worry — it will make several batches!
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 15 whole cloves
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 8 (1/4 inch thick) slices unpeeled fresh ginger
- 15 cardamom pods, split
- 15 whole black peppercorns
- 10 black tea bags
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; add cloves and boil for 1 minute. Add cinnamon sticks, ginger, cardamom pods, peppercorns, and tea. Allow tea to steep for 6 minutes; strain into a container. Stir brown sugar and vanilla extract into tea and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
Cook’s Note:
To serve: Mix about 2 parts concentrate with 1 part milk (almond milk works really well). Drink hot or over ice. Concentrate will stay good in the refrigerator for about 1 week.
