Chai Concentrate

Method

Chai Concentrate

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Tea and Spices

    Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add the black tea bags, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and fresh ginger.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes. This will help extract the flavors from the spices and tea.

  4. 4

    Strain and Sweeten

    After simmering, remove from heat and strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher. Discard the tea bags and spices. Stir in 1 cup of sugar until fully dissolved.

  5. 5

    Add Milk

    Once the sugar is dissolved, mix in 1 cup of milk (or non-dairy alternative) into the chai concentrate. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

To Serve

  1. 6

    Prepare Glasses

    In tall glasses, fill each with 1 cup of ice cubes.

  2. 7

    Pour Chai Concentrate

    Pour the chilled chai concentrate over the ice-filled glasses, filling each glass about 2/3 full.

  3. 8

    Add Additional Milk

    If desired, top with additional milk to your taste.

  4. 9

    Garnish

    Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for garnish before serving.
