How to Make Awesome And Economical Chai Concentrate
- Combine water, ginger, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves, and black peppercorns in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, allowing the spices to infuse fully.
- Remove from heat and add black tea leaves and milk. Stir gently to combine.
- Return the pot to low heat and gently heat for another 10 minutes, do not boil.
- Strain the chai concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Allow the concentrate to cool completely. Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, mix 1-2 tablespoons of concentrate with hot water or milk, adding honey or sugar to taste.
