Chai Tea Concentrate Made with rooibos tea, this is not too sweet and very satisfying. Made with sugar allows the spices to be more prominent. But I love the health benefits and comforting flavor of maple syrup. ~In 8 qt pot
Bring 4 qts water to a boil Add: 4 cinnamon sticks 10 whole cloves 20 whole peppercorns 1/3 cup cardamom pods 2 1/2 -3 oz (2/3 cup) fresh chopped ginger OR use 1/3 c "tea cut" dried ginger 1 teaspoon salt *Use a large cloth tea bag to add: 1/2 cup loose leaf rooibos tea Bring to a gentle simmer for an hour Stir in: 8-12 oz maple syrup OR 2 1/2 c sugar Simmer again 15 min or so to bring it all together. Strain out herbs and remove rooibos tea bag *If you don't have a large enough tea bag then strain through cloth to remove the rooibos tea. ~To serve Depending on how strong you want it, you will use 1 part Chai Syrup to 3 or 4 parts milk of your choice. Heat them both til they're your desired temp, froth it if you've got a nifty little frother, and enjoy! I like 3 parts tea to 1 part warm frothed milk.
