How to Make Coburn's Chai Tea Mix

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 4 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf black tea).
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, immediately remove from heat and let steep, covered, for at least 2 hours (or up to 4 for a stronger brew).
  4. Strain the chai mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heat-safe container. Discard solids.
  5. Refrigerate the cooled chai concentrate until ready to serve.
  6. When ready to serve, heat 1/2 cup of the chai concentrate with 1/2 cup of low-fat milk or vanilla-flavored soy milk in a microwave-safe mug or saucepan until warmed through. Do not boil.
  7. Add honey to taste.
  8. Enjoy your homemade chai tea! Experiment with different spice combinations to find your perfect blend.
