Como fazer Sweet Spicy Chai Tea
- In a dry skillet over medium-high heat, toast the anise, coriander, and peppercorns, stirring constantly, until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Coarsely grind the toasted spices using a spice mill or mortar and pestle.
- Gently crush the cardamom pods to release their aroma.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the ground spices, ground nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon stick (or ground cinnamon), orange zest, and thinly sliced ginger with the filtered water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Add the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard.
- Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the chai.
- Strain the chai liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids.
- While still warm, stir in the honey until completely dissolved. Adjust sweetness to your preference.
- Let the chai cool completely before storing. This helps the flavors develop even further.
- Store the chai concentrate in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, combine 2 parts chai concentrate with 1 part milk (dairy or non-dairy), water, or your preferred milk alternative. Serve hot or chilled.
