Anyone knows a recipe for home-made Chai? (How can I dehydrate my own spices so I can store them)?

Answer 1

yes i know a recipe for chai

Chai Tea with Milk

Serves 4



10 whole green cardamom pods, lightly crushed

5 whole cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 inches), peeled and quartered

1/2 vanilla bean split lengthwise and scraped

1/3 cup honey, plus more for serving (optional)

4 bags black tea

1 1/2 cups milk

1. Place 3 cups water in a small saucepan; add cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla bean and scrapings. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer until mixture is aromatic, about 15 minutes. Whisk in honey; drop tea bags in pan. Turn off heat, and let steep 3 minutes.

2. Strain tea through a fine strainer or a coffee filter into a warmed serving pot. Heat milk in same saucepan over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes. Do not let milk come to a boil because it will separate. Pour into serving pot with the tea, and stir well to combine. Serve immediately, with more honey on the side if desired.

Answer 2

Here's the EZ version.
Boil water for two cups of tea. Add as much milk, soy milk or rice milk as you want, bring to a near boil. As soon as it starts to boil, remove from heat. Put two regular black tea bags in hot water; steep for 3 mins.

I don't use measurements, but here are the spices.
Add
cinnamon (quite a bit...1/2 tsp.?)
cardamom (second most)
powdered ginger (makes it spicy, so experiment with the spiciness u want
ground clove (TINY bit, and I mean tiny)
sugar, honey, stevia or Splenda to taste

Put it back on the burner again and bring to a near boil. Pour through a fine strainer if you want, otherwise the spices can just sink to the bottom. Not a big deal if you don't mid it. For guests it's good to strain it. Serve. Oooh. Enjoy.
