Description

Ingredients

• 6 cups water
• ⅓ cup sucanat, or rapadura, or natural sweetener of your choice (like this)
• 2-3 fresh ginger, sliced
• 5 cinnamon sticks (like this)
• 1 teaspoon peppercorns (like this)
• 2 vanilla beans (like this)
• 3 star anise (like this)
• 15 cloves (like this)
• 5 allspice (optional) (like this)
• 2 teaspoons cardamom seeds (like this)
• 5 black tea bags
• Milk of your choice (both dairy and non-dairy milks will work-- my favorite is whole, raw cow milk)

Directions

• In a medium pot, bring the water and sweetener to a boil and simmer until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
• Add all of the spices, and continue to simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
• Remove the mixture from the heat, add the tea bags, and let them steep for 10 minutes.
• Strain out the spices and tea bags and store your chai concentrate in the fridge (it will last for several weeks--but I doubt itll be around that long!)
• To serve: Mix the chai concentrate 1:1 with milk. Gently heat in a small saucepan until it reaches the desired temperature. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy. 🙂
