CLOVE CHAI TEA

Clove Chai Tea image

This recipe combines 1/2 cup of the brew from Recipe #131436 with 1/2 cup of a very simple clove tea brew. I list full ingredients for both. It's really easy and flavorful and I like to have both on hand to mix to everyone's desired combination. Clove *oil* is said to have numerous beneficial medicinal qualities related to digestion, dental care, stress, infections, headache, respiratory problems, earache, nausea, blood circulation, diabetes, and immune health. NOTE: the powdered Chai mix yields about 36 servings by itself while the fresh clove tea mix yields 4 full cups, so you can keep the former on hand in the cupboard ready to go!

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup non-dairy powdered coffee creamer
1 cup powdered french vanilla fat free non-dairy coffee creamer
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened instant tea
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (use water OR coconut milk) (optional)
1 quart water
1 tablespoon whole cloves (freshly ground in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine milk powder, non-dairy creamer, vanilla flavored creamer, sugar and instant tea. Stir in ginger, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice and white pepper. In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder. Store in a tightly sealed container.
  • Bring water for the clove tea to a boil.
  • Turn off the heat, add the ground cloves and let steep for 20 minutes.
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer. At this point, you can add sugar/cream or drink it as is, but if you're new to the spicy tea experience, you can dilute the brew with a little more hot water. If you want the entire Clove Chai Tea experience, then do NOT add sugar or cream and carry on.
  • Mix the Chai by adding 2 heaping tablespoons into 1/2 mug of hot water or, for a more decadent treat, use hot, unsweetened coconut milk instead of water!
  • Now top off the mug with the hot clove tea, stir and enjoy. :).

I've tried many chai tea recipes before, but this one is by far my favorite. The spices are perfectly balanced, and the tea has a rich, full flavor. I love that I can adjust the sweetness to my liking by adding more or less honey.

This chai tea recipe was absolutely delightful! The clove and cinnamon flavors blended together perfectly, and the addition of ginger and cardamom gave it a lovely warmth. I especially enjoyed the hint of sweetness from the honey.
