Time 2h10m

Yield Makes 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole allspice berries
6 whole cloves
8 whole cardamom pods, crushed
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches each)
3 cups skim milk
12 thin slices fresh ginger (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup loose black tea, such as English breakfast
1 cup sugar
6 large egg yolks
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine coriander, peppercorns, allspice, cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon in a small skillet over medium-high. Cook, swirling pan frequently, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Combine toasted spices, milk, ginger, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to just under a boil, then remove from heat and let stand 45 minutes. Return to a simmer; add tea. Remove from heat; let steep 10 minutes. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve (you should have about 2 cups; if not, add more milk); discard solids.
  • Prepare a large ice bath. Return mixture to saucepan and add 1/2 cup sugar; bring to a simmer. In a large bowl, whisk remaining 1/2 cup sugar into egg yolks. Gradually whisk in half of milk mixture. Pour back into pan and cook over medium, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Add heavy cream. Place in ice bath. Let chill, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes. Refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Freeze custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve ice cream soft from machine, or freeze in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. If frozen for more than 4 hours, let ice cream stand at room temperature 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality black tea for the best flavor. A strong black tea like Assam or Ceylon will work well.
  • Chai spices can be adjusted to taste. If you like a stronger flavor, add more spices. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • Be sure to let the chai tea steep for long enough to extract the full flavor. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will be.
  • Sweeten the chai tea to taste. Honey, sugar, or maple syrup are all good options.
  • Serve the chai tea hot or cold. For a refreshing iced chai tea, chill the tea in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
  • Garnish the chai tea with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.

Conclusion:

Creamy chai ice tea is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy a delicious cup of chai tea at home.
