April's Awesome Chai Tea




Source of Recipe


internet


List of Ingredients




1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon clove
2 tea bags of black tea
2 cups water
2 cups milk
1/2 cup honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
lots of Reddi Whip to top it off

Recipe



Combine spices, tea bags and water in a sauce pan (or you can use a French press). Bring to a boil, and stir well to combine. Turn off heat, and allow to steep for 5-10 minutes. Remove tea bags, add milk, and heat through. Add honey and vanilla, stir well to combine. Ladle into tall mugs and top with lots of Reddi Whip. Mmmmmmmm!!!!!

I just came up with this last night and made it for my husband...and he just about fell over when he tasted it. He had me make it for him again this morning for him to take to work.

Also, if this sounds like too much work, it IS possible to make a not-as-good-but-suitable instant version. Simply combine spices with 4 teaspoons Nestea instant tea granules, and 1/2 cup powdered milk and 1/2 cup white or brown sugar. Omit vanilla. Then, you can either combine the whole mix with 4 cups boiling water, or divide it into fourths for single mug servings with boiling water. The taste is not quite the same, but if you're looking for instant/easy then it works. Enjoy!

Posted by: Karolin: This is the recipe that I found here and LOVE IT!!!! Posted by: bettina_bettina_TX: I made April's chai tea this weekend and it is every bit as awesome as she says it is. The flavors blend together quite smoothly. I did not use the reddi whip (too early in the morning for me). I made it just for myself, so I cut all the measurements in half. I will definitely be making this again and maybe next time it won't be so early and I can indulge in a little of the whip cream. :) Thanks, April for sharing all your recipes with us.~Bettina
