Clove Chai Tea
- For the Chai
- COMBINE
- 1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 1 cup non-dairy powdered coffee creamer
- 1 cup powdered french vanilla fat free non-dairy coffee creamer
- 2 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened instant tea
- STIR INTO THE ABOVE
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- Add 2 T of the mix above to 1/2 cup hot water or
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (use water OR coconut milk) (optional)
- For the Clove Tea
- 1 quart water
- 1 tablespoon whole cloves (freshly ground in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle)
- In a large bowl, combine milk powder, non-dairy creamer, vanilla flavored creamer, sugar and instant tea. Stir in ginger, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice and white pepper. In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder. Store in a tightly sealed container.
- Bring water for the clove tea to a boil.
- Turn off the heat, add the ground cloves and let steep for 20 minutes.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer. At this point, you can add sugar/cream or drink it as is, but if you're new to the spicy tea experience, you can dilute the brew with a little more hot water. If you want the entire Clove Chai Tea experience, then do NOT add sugar or cream and carry on.
- Mix the Chai by adding 2 heaping tablespoons into 1/2 mug of hot water or, for a more decadent treat, use hot, unsweetened coconut milk instead of water!
- Now top off the mug with the hot clove tea, stir and enjoy. :).
