INGREDIENTS
CHAI
- 2.5 glasses of boiling water
- 3-4 tbsp loose leaf black tea or 6 teabags
- 2.5 glasses of plant milk (I love using oat milk or coconut milk, but soya and almond work)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
MASALA
- 20 cardmom pods
- 12 cloves
- 1/2 tsp ginger (powder or fresh)
- 1/3 tsp black pepper
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
METHOD
- Add the loose leaf tea and hot water to a saucepan and bring to a boil (~3 minutes)
- Meanwhile, Grind the masala ingredients: cardamom, cloves, ginger, black pepper and cinnamon in a blender into a powder
- Add into the boiling tea, stir, and pour in 2.5 glasses of plant milk
- Continue to heat until the tea bubbles and begins to froth slightly at the top (~3 minutes) . Once this happens, the chai is ready!
- If you like it sweet, add a little maple! Now here's a surprisingly delicious tip, try dunking your toast (with a little coconut oil spread) into the chai. It's delicious! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
