Laung Chai Cloves Tea Recipes

CLOVE CHAI TEA

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. :).
