How to Make Chai From Moosewood Restaurant New Classics
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches), 4 whole cloves, 2 green cardamom pods (lightly crushed), 1 inch piece of fresh ginger (peeled and thinly sliced), and 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced to 2 cups (approximately 10-15 minutes).
- Remove from heat and add 4 tea bags of black tea (Assam or English Breakfast recommended). Steep for 4-5 minutes.
- Strain the tea, discarding the spices and tea bags. Return the chai to the saucepan.
- Add 2 cups of whole milk (or milk alternative) and heat gently until steaming (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and add sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, or sugar are all great options). Stir well to combine.
- Serve hot or chill for a refreshing iced chai. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of cardamom for an extra touch of elegance.
