A sweet, aromatic tea recipe I created that has all the spices of a pumkin pie. Very tasty hot, or cold. It uses whole spices, as well as ground to create a perfectly spiced drink using a French Tea Press. Ingredients:
1/2 stick cinnamon (broken into about 3 peices) |
15 -20 whole cloves |
1 tablespoon loose tea (*see note below*) |
1/2 teaspoon honey |
1 dash ground nutmeg |
3 drops vanilla extract |
boiling water |
sugar (optional) |
milk (optional) |
ice (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place all of the solids into the bottom of a tea press.
2. Fill the press with the boiling water.
3. Press, and steep for around 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
4. Pour the tea into mugs, and add sugar and milk to taste. I personally do not add anything.
5. For a refreshing chai, add in some Ice cubes.
6. *If you do not have loose tea, try emptying some tea bags, to get enough tea to make a tablespoon. Use an unflavored tea - Earl Grey, Lipton, English Breakfast, etc., dont use an orange tea or berry tea for example.*.
