Provided by Karabea

Categories     Beverages

Time 2h

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 cups water
8 black tea bags
3/4 cup sugar
16 whole cloves
5 cinnamon sticks
8 slices fresh ginger
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Combine water, tea, sugar, cloves, cinnamon & ginger in Crock Pot.
  • Cover; cook on High 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
  • Strain mixture; discard solids. Stir in milk just before serving. Serve warm or chilled.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spices: Chai tea is traditionally made with a blend of spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. You can also add other spices, such as nutmeg, star anise, or black pepper, to taste.
  • Use fresh or dried spices: Fresh spices will give your chai tea a more intense flavor, but dried spices will also work well.
  • Use whole spices or ground spices: Whole spices will give your chai tea a more complex flavor, but ground spices will be easier to dissolve.
  • Steep the spices for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the spices to fully develop.
  • Use a good quality black tea: The type of black tea you use will also affect the flavor of your chai tea. A strong, malty black tea will give you a more robust flavor, while a lighter, more delicate black tea will give you a more subtle flavor.
  • Add sweetener to taste: Chai tea is traditionally sweetened with sugar, but you can also use honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener of your choice.
  • Serve chai tea hot or cold: Chai tea can be enjoyed hot or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to let it cool completely before refrigerating.

Conclusion:

Chai tea is a delicious and versatile beverage that can be enjoyed year-round. With its blend of spices and black tea, chai tea is a great way to warm up on a cold day or cool down on a hot day. It is also a good source of antioxidants and other nutrients. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and healthy drink, reach for a cup of chai tea.
