BETTER CHAI FROM A CHAI TEA BAG RECIPE - INDIAN.FOOD.COM



Better Chai from a Chai Tea Bag Recipe - Indian.Food.com image

The directions on my chai tea bags say, "steep 3-5 minutes, then add milk." The result is not very good; it's watery and not spicy at all. This recipe is my "rescue" for chai tea bags. It's not exactly chai like you get in India, but it's closer at least!

Total Time 12 minutes

Prep Time 0S

Cook Time 12 minutes

Yield 1 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 chai tea bag (I use Trader Joe's)
1 cup water
1/2 cup nonfat milk (whichever milk you prefer, I just like skim)
1/2 teaspoon honey (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Place water and tea bag in a small saucepan over high heat.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for about ten minutes, until the water is reduced by half. If less than 1/2 cup of water remains after ten minutes, just top up with more water.
  • Remove tea bag and stir in milk and honey or sugar. Allow the chai to just return to a boil, then pour into a mug and serve.
  • Note that if you let chai sit for too long, it will form a "skin." This is normal, but if you'd rather not have it, periodically stir your chai while you enjoy it.

Total Time 35 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 0S

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8

green cardamom pods

5

cloves

1/4 tsp.

fennel seeds

1/2 tsp.

black peppercorns

1

cinnamon stick

1

star anise

1 1/2 c.

water

Pinch ground nutmeg

1" fresh ginger, grated

2 tbsp.

loose leaf black tea

1 1/2 c.

whole milk

1

to 2 tbsp. granulated sugar

Steps:

  • In a small pot over low heat, toast all spices except nutmeg until fragrant, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Using a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, of the back of your knife, crack and crush open the cardamom, cloves, fennel seeds, and peppercorns. Return pot to medium-low heat and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add all spices, ginger, and tea. Gently simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in milk and sugar and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently to prevent milk from burning on the bottom of the pot. Optionally, to aerate and build creaminess into the chai, use a ladle to repeatedly scoop and pour chai back into the pot, from a slight height.  Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes more before straining out spices and serving.
