Chai!

25Feb09

Okay! Want to learn how to make Chai?! Follow these easy steps and you’ll never go to Starbucks again. Maybe. I’ll include the recipe at the bottom.

Ingredients! From top left: cinnamon sticks, black peppercorn, brown sugar, tea buds in the teaspoon and a chunk of ginger.

The gear. That thing on the right is the "stove".

Throw all the spices into a pot of water and bring it to a boil.

Be patient. (That's The Kite Runner.. Really recommend it.)

Add milk and bring to a boil.

Add the tea buds and brown sugar, if you like it sweet.

After it has simmered for a couple of minutes, it's ready.

Recipe
* 4 cups water
* 1 cup milk
* 1 tsp loose black tea (this was weak. I’d put two)
* 3 cinnamon sticks
* 1-inch chunk of raw ginger (thinly sliced)
* 5 whole black peppercorns (I’d put more, to taste)
* 2 whole cloves (I didn’t have this around)
And I added brown sugar to taste.
