The sweet and spicy aroma that wafts from the slow cooker as this pleasantly flavored chai tea cooks is wonderful.—Crystal Jo Burns, Iliff, Colorado Ingredients:
3-1/2 ounces fresh gingerroot, peeled and thinly sliced |
25 whole cloves |
15 cardamom pods, crushed |
3 cinnamon sticks (3 inches) |
3 whole peppercorns |
3-1/2 quarts water |
8 individual black tea bags |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
Directions:
1. Place the ginger, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon sticks and peppercorns on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Add spice bag and water to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
2. Add tea bags; cover and steep for 3-5 minutes. Discard tea bags and spice bag. Stir in milk; heat through. Serve warm. Yield: 12 servings (3 quarts).
