WINTER CHAI
Making Chai tea blend for a Winter Weekend is soothing my soul.
Recipe for Chai( I wing it so be kind)
2 cups of black tea
4 sticks cinnamon
12 cloves
8 cardamom pods
10 black pepper ( use less if u don’t like it spicy)
1 tsp ginger
1tsp nutmeg
6star anise
Using a mortar and pestle, I grind everything except tea until it’s chunky and rustic. Then add tea leaves .
The blend can be varied greatly with adding honey or masala.
To do this I like to put the blend on a tray , drizzle either /or honey&masala . Mix and let dry out for half a day .
Add to glass jar.
