Chai with Rooibos
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon loose leaf rooibos (or tea of choice)
- ¼ teaspoon dried ground cinnamon (or one cinnamon stick, broken up into pieces)
- ¼ teaspoon dried ground ginger (or 1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves (or four whole cloves)
- 3 peppercorns (optional)
- 1 star anise (optional)
- 6 ounces water
- 6 ounces soy milk (or milk of choice)
- 1-2 teaspoons honey (of sweetener of choice)
Instructions
- Place all spices into tea bag, and place in a small saucepan (if using whole spices, these can go straight into the pan).Pour the water and milk into the pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately turn the heat down to medium/low, and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Gently stir occasionally, pressing the spoon against the tea bag, to diffuse the fragrant spices throughout the water mixture.Pour into a mug, add honey to taste, stir to combine, and enjoy the sweet cloud of spicy comfort.
