The winter wind has finally started to blow in New Jersey. My taste for tea’s have changed from a nice citrusy iced tea to now a spicy warm chai. The spices in the chai tea warm up the chi in the body and seem to keep the immune system in good health.
8 cardamom seeds
8 cloves
4 black pepper corns
1 inch fresh ginger root
2 cups Coconut milk
4 tea bags of black tea(Darjeeling) or Green Tea
Honey or sugar to taste
Directions
- Place the cardamom, cloves, and peppercorns in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a heavy skillet.
- Place the crushed spices in a medium saucepan, along with the cinnamon sticks, ginger,coconut milk, and 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add the tea bags, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain into cups. Sweeten to taste.
Happy Thanks Giving
