Chai is an Indian spiced tea. This rich version is a wonderful complement to a thick slice of Sweet Potato Pound Cake. Ingredients:
4 cups milk |
1 cup whipping cream |
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced |
6 cardamom pods |
1 star anise |
1/4 teaspoon whole cloves |
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns |
4 regular-size black tea bags |
Directions:
1. Bring first 8 ingredients and 2 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add tea bags; cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a heatproof pitcher, discarding solids. Serve warm or chilled over ice.
2. Dark Chocolate Chai Latte: Stir 4 oz. chopped dark chocolate and 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon in with first 8 ingredients, stirring until chocolate is melted. Proceed with recipe as directed.
