Comment préparer Spiced Chai Concentrate
- **Prepare the Spices:** Gently crush the cardamom pods and measure out all the spices.
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, star anise, cloves, and nutmeg.
- **Boil and Steep:** Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, add the tea bags, and let steep, covered, for 15 minutes.
- **Strain the Chai:** Carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a 4-cup glass measuring cup or large bowl, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the used spices and tea bags.
- **Sweeten and Flavor:** Stir in the sugar, honey, and vanilla extract until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- **Cool and Store:** Let the concentrate cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
- **Serve:** To serve hot, combine 1 part concentrate with 1 part milk (or half-and-half) and heat gently. For a refreshing iced chai, mix 1 part concentrate with 1 part milk (or half-and-half) and pour over ice.
