ingredients -
tea and spices
the basic recipe is something like
- Bring water to boil. add tea leaves (any black tea) and reduce heat.
- Add the spices: some cloves, cardamom (squeeze and crack the pods add them whole), a cinnamon stick (I like to break them into two).
- Simmer (until you get a nice rolling boil happening).
- Add some milk and cook a little more.
-Strain to serve.
-Sweeten to your own taste.

ReplyDeleteYou could just do what I do... and use a chai teabag!
Have you ever had chai icecream?
I made chai/white chocolate cookies once.
Wow, I had my first ever go at making ice-cream the other day, the result was grand but I was not very adventurous and stuck to vanilla. I don't know it you have looked at the other recipes I've posted but I made these nice little earl grey muffins awhile ago and just love the idea of mixing tea and food. I shall endeavor to try said treats asap yum!
