Okey dokey, here is my recipe for Chai Tea... I promise you, this is absolutely delicious!!! I came up with this after trying a few other recipes I found for Chai Tea...none were quite right, but this is out of this world!!! Please try this... you won't be disappointed!
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
