All the caffeine of espresso with the flavor of chai :) Use 2 tea bags for an extra strong flavor. I like to top with whipped cream and sprinkled cinnamon or drizzled honey. Tip: If you don't have an espresso machine and use regular strength coffee, you can vary the recipe as follows: 1) brew coffee; 2) place tea bags & sugar in hot coffee to soak and place in the refrigerator to chill; 3) mix with half n half. Ingredients:
1 -2 chai tea teabags |
2 tablespoons ground coffee |
2 -3 teaspoons sugar or 2 -3 teaspoons honey |
4 -5 ice cubes |
5 -8 ounces 2% low-fat milk (at least 2% milkfat!) |
Directions:
1. Cut open the tea bags and place in the bottom of the filter cup for your espresso machine.
2. Place the coffee on top of the tea leaves (straining the espresso over the chai gives it the strongest flavor).
3. Brew the espresso and mix in the sugar while it is still hot.
4. Pour into a 12 ounce glass and quickly stir in 4-5 ice cubes until the side of the glass feels chilled.
5. Fill to the top with milk.
