Chai Tea Concentrate

This is amazing! :)
I got the recipe from here, though I’ve made a few changes. But the wonderful thing about this recipe is you can change it according to your tastes. Yum.

Ingredients:
4-½ cups Water
1 stick Cinnamon
1 1/2-inch long piece Fresh Ginger Chopped
7 whole Cardamom Pods
2 whole Star Anise Pods
10 whole Cloves
¼ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper (I used peppercorns, about half a teaspoon)
½ teaspoons Freshly-ground Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
10 teaspoons Green Or Black Tea Or 10 Tea Bags (I like the taste of green tea better. Use about 30 grams looseleaf green tea, I think)
(Note: If using green tea, especially if it’s loose leaf green tea, use water that’s slightly under boiling temperature)

1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Directions:
Bring the water to a boil. Put all of the dried spices into a large bowl and lightly crush with a potato masher. Add the orange peel, fresh ginger, and tea leaves, and pour the water over. Let steep 15-20 minutes, depending on how strong you want it and on the kind of tea you use. Strain and add the brown sugar, honey, and vanilla. Stir to combine.

Mix 1 part concentrate with 1 part milk, heat and enjoy or pour over ice.
This concentrate will keep in the fridge for around 2 weeks. Or you can freeze it in an ice cube tray and use it as ice cubes in tasty iced chai! :)
