Chai (rhymes with pie ) is the word for tea in some parts of the world...but in India, it's a spiced milk tea that's becoming more popular in North America. This recipe is just as tasty as any coffee-house chai. —Peggy Fleming Ingredients:
2 cups water |
2 individual tea bags |
1 cinnamon stick |
6 cardamom pods, crushed |
1 whole clove |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
2-1/2 cups milk |
1/3 cup sugar |
sweetened whipped cream, ground cinnamon and cinnamon sticks, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in milk. Return to a boil; boil for 1 minute, then strain. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Pour into mugs. Top each with whipped cream, cinnamon and a cinnamon stick if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
