If you're looking for a great tea (chai) without caffine to wind down your night with a sweet beverage or just warm up with a cozy cup of something hot, try this. I generally hate anise and clove flavored things but the combination of flavors is amazing.
6-8 cups of water
2-4 tbsps of fresh ginger thinly shredded
1 stick of cinnamon
small handfull of cloves
small handfull of anise seeds (star of anise)
1-2 tbsp of ground cardamon
heat until it boils and simmer until the color gets dark. I like to let it takes its time. It allows the dried things to hydrate and permeate the tea to get a stronger, bolder flavor.
I serve it with rice milk and honey but you can use what ever type of milk you like, leave it out, and use sugar or agave as a sweetener instead.
Great to serve with cookies or breads!
