Today, we have a simple recipe that will help you step up your Chai game. It starts just the same; with the blend of tea and herbs in a pot, steeping an infusion. But, by adding some finely ground extras, you help your Chai come alive with flavor!
1/4 cup of raw sugar (brown sugar will do), a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a half teaspoon of nutmeg all ground together will be added to the infusion. I use a mortar and pestle to grind, but do what you can with what you have. Next, a splash of vanilla extract into the mix and boil the infusion down a bit. Not so much that it becomes a decoction, you want that water for your beverage.
Finally, pour into your choice of vessel and add milk and honey to taste.
It is amazing how a few simple things that are probably hanging out on your cupboard can take your Chai to the next level! Never Not Food invites you to try this wicked tasty hot beverage this winter with your clan as you all huddle for warmth in your bungalows!
Remember to Never Not Food. Why? Because Food!
