Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Cup Plant based Milk In this recipe I used a unsweetened plain almond milk.
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1/2 tsp Real Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/8 tsp Ground Cardamon
  • 1/8 tsp Ground Fennel or Fennel Seeds
  • 1 Whole Star Anise Can use extra for garnish.
  • 2 Whole Cloves
  • 2 Whole Peppercorn
  • 2 Cinnamon Stick Can use extra for garnish.
  • 1 Tbsp Real Maple Syrup
  • 2 Black Tea Bags Remove the string and tag from the tea bags.

Method
 

  1. In a medium sized sauce pan, add all the ingredients, keeping out the tea bags.
  2. Bring everything to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer.
  3. Simmer for 10 minutes while stirring.
  4. After simmering for 10 minutes, add the tea bags. Before adding the tea bags remove the string and tags from the bags.
  5. Stir in the tea bags and let them steep for 5 minutes before serving.
  6. Gather 2 mugs and strain the mixture into the mugs.
  7. If you want your chai cold, strain the mixture into a quart canning jar, cover and place into the refrigerator to cool.
  8. To serve, grab a tall glass filled with ice and pour the mixture in the glass.
  9. Top with some Whipped Coconut Cream and a cinnamon stick or a garnish of star anise.
