Green Chai Tea
February 4, 2008
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp green tea leaves, or 2 bags
- 1/2 stick cinnamon
- 4 cloves
- pinch each cardamom and turmeric
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1/4 cup soy milk or to taste
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and store in a jar or tin. Makes about 1 1/2 cups of dry green chai mix.
To brew:
Place one teaspoon of the chai mix in a metal tea ball or reuseable cloth tea bag. Or spoon one teaspoon per cup of hot water into a teapot. Steep several minutes and serve with milk (dairy or non-dairy) and sweetener.
Alternately, boil the mixture in a pot, simmering for 10 minutes or more, with extra slices of fresh ginger for an excellently pungent brew: use 1 cup of liquid (half water/half milk (dairy or non-dairy) is very nice) with 1 tsp chai mix for each cup of tea. Sweeten with honey or sugar if desired.
