Chai Tea Concentrate

This stuff is handy to have around at home if you're a chai tea fan. The final chai tea product is much more flavorful than anything you'd buy prepackaged at the grocery store or buy at the corner coffee shop.

Chai Tea Concentrate

Ingredients

  • 10 thin slices of ginger
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 10 cardamom seeds (from about 2 pods)
  • 5 cloves, or 1/2 tsp
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar, honey, agave, etc. to taste

Method

  1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a full boil, and then simmer over very low heat for 20 minutes.
  2. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve.
  3. To serve, blend about two parts chai tea concentrate to one part warm or steamed milk, to taste.
