This week was filled with countless amounts of chai.
I recently gave up all forms of coffee, and chai lattes became my go-to alternative. It’s sweet taste and cozy feeling makes it a high-key perfect substitute. Most of this week I’ve been buying a cup at my local coffee shop, however it’s not the most cost efficient. I found this recipe for homemade chai from allrecipes.com. It’s so yummy.
Here’s how to make it, and everything you’ll need.
Chai Latte Ingredients:
-
1 cup of milk
-
1 cup of water
-
1 large strip of orange peel
-
3 whole cloves
-
1 (3″) cinnamon stick
-
3 whole black peppercorns
-
1 pinch of ground nutmeg
-
4 teaspoons of white sugar (add less/more depending on how sweet you want it)
-
2 teaspoons of black tea leaves
Here’s my shorter/more simple impression of what the directions were saying:
Pretty much you just dump the milk and water into a pan and put the heat on medium-high. When that gets all warm and yummy, dump all the other things into the same pan and bring to a boil. Bring the heat down to medium-low and simmer until the color gets all pretty. Strain it, et voila! Your homemade delicious chai is done. Drink up! Also, try sprinkling some cinnamon on top. It’s amazing!
I love this drink. Curling up with a good book and some chai is one of the best feelings, in my opinion.
