Chaitea

A little inspiration to start your day

I just love the warmth and steam of a cup of tea and one of my favourites is Chai tea. This mix of aromatic spices, black tea, milk and sugar is exactly what I need when the weather is grey.

Here is what you will need to make it yourself:
1 1/2 cups of water
1 1/2 inch stick of cinnamon
8 cardamom pods
8 whole cloves
1/4 inch fresh ginger root (sliced thin)
2/3 cup of milk
6 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons of Darjeeling tea leaves

Preparation:
Place water, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and ginger in a pot and bring to boil. Cover and set to lower heating and let simmer for 10 minutes. Add milk and sugar and again bring to simmer. Next, add the tea leaves, remove from heat and cover. Let steep for 3 minutes and strain. Enjoy!

    Chai thee is ook echt mijn nieuwe liefde. Heerlijk om de dag me te beginnen. Of juist te eindigen!
