My niece gave me this recipe a couple of months ago and I'm hooked on it. Feel free to vary the amounts of spices according to what flavours you like. Great way to start the morning :-). Ingredients:
8 cups water |
5 -6 black tea bags |
1 cinnamon stick |
12 whole cloves |
4 whole allspice, buds |
2 slices whole nutmegs |
6 -8 cardamom pods |
2 tablespoons brown sugar (or more depending on how sweet you like it.) or 2 tablespoons honey (or more depending on how sweet you like it.) |
2 -3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract |
1 inch piece of peeled gingerroot, sliced |
10 -12 peppercorns |
Directions:
1. Bring everything to a hard boil, then turn it off and let steep for a couple of hours. Transfer to the fridge. When ready to enjoy, strain mixture into a mug, add low fat milk or vanilla flavoured soya milk(preferred) in a 1:1 ratio and heat in the microwave or stovetop. Add extra honey of desired.
2. If you like chai tea you will love this,at a fraction of the cost of buying premade mixes.
