Chai & Coffee Mate
Posted Thu, 04/22/04
I found the following luscious recipe at Coffee Mate, which combines two of my favorite things: Chai and liquid Coffee Mate.
Hot-Spiced Chai Tea
1 (2-inch) piece of fresh ginger, cut into thin rounds
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
10 whole cloves
10 cardamom pods
3/4 tsp. whole black peppercorns
7 C water
6 bags black tea
1-1/2 C Half & Half or Coffee Mate
1/2 C packed golden brown sugar
Combine ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom, peppercorns and water in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; partially cover pan and heat for ten minutes. Add tea bags; steep for five minutes. Remove tea bags. Stir in Half & Half (or Coffee Mate) and sugar. Heat through. Strain tea into teapot and pour into cups for serving. Makes six servings.
Utter yum!
