Ingredients
-
1
star anise
-
2
cinnamon sticks
-
4
cardamon pods, cracked
-
4
black teabags (or 1/3 cup loose leaf black tea)
-
1 teaspoon
allspice
-
1/4 teaspoon
ground ginger
-
1 teaspoon
nutmeg, grated
-
2 1/3 cups
water
-
2 cups
milk of choice (I used almond milk)
-
brown sugar, to taste
Directions
-
Add all the spices and the water to a medium sized sauce pan.
-
Boil for 3-5 minutes or until the tea is as strong as you'd like
-
Strain the spices from the liquid and add brown sugar to taste ( this step is optional, I prefer mine without sugar, but some prefer the added sweetness)
-
Add the milk and pour the liquid into a jug. Spread among 6 cups to serve.
-
(optional) on warmer days, iced chai is really refreshing. simply add ice cubes to the cups or refrigerate for about 30-60 minutes.
