Viewed: 41 - Published at: 9 years agoIngredients
- Homemade Chai Mix
- 5 tablespoons coriander pods
- 2 tablespoons whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 8 2-inch sticks cinnamon
- 2 whole star anise
- 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Chai for one
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon chai mix
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup strongly brewed Assam or other black tea
Method
- Combine all of the ingredients except the ginger in a bowl and crush coarsely in a mortar in manageable batches. If you don't have a mortar, use a rolling pin, or even easier, pulse briefly in a coffee grinder. Just don't overdo it, you want pieces, not powder. Stir in the ground ginger and store in an airtight jar.
- Combine the milk, chai mix, and sugar in a Pyrex measuring cup and nuke in the microwave for about 30 seconds, until hot. Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes while you brew the tea. Fill a mug halfway with the tea, and strain the infused milk into the cup. (Adjust milk and sugar quantities according to your preference.)
