Gra Gra's Amazing Chai
- 7 cups water
- 4 star anise
- 6 green cardamom pods
- 12 cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 12 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon dried fennel
- 5 pieces thinly sliced gingerroot
- 14 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 tablespoons black tea
- 1 cup milk
- Boil the Chai mixture for 5 minutes and steep for 10 minutes.
- Then bring up to the boil again and add pesticide free (or organic) high quality black tea.
- You can experiment with Orange Peko, Darjeeling or pure Ceylon.
- Let the mixture steep for five minutes.
- I then heat organic full cream milk and into a large mug (a small cup is never enough!)
- I gently pour the chai mix and heated milk.
- I like a 2/3 chai to 1/3 milk ratio.
- Then add Agave Syrup or organic honey to taste.
- AMAZING!
