With this Chai recipe, you are preparing a chai-spiced flavored milk to add to your individual cup of tea. It's delicious, time-saving, and perfect if you want one or two cups at a time instead of a large batch of chai. Fresh grind whole spices for a much better result. I use a morter and pestle for everything but the cinnamon which I do purchase ground because I find it tough to grind at home.

12 ounces (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (I usually double this amount, personally)

Directions

1
Place milk and spices into a very clean jar, shake to mix and chill.
2
Let set for 24 hours for optimum flavor, though I have used it immediately because I was impatient.
3
The longer it sits, the stronger the flavors get, and it will last for a few weeks in the fridge.
4
Use 2-3 Tablespoons per cup with your favorite tea and sweeten with your favorite sweetener. I'm partial to green tea and honey myself.

I was surprised at how close this was to the real thing. I love Chai Tea so I just had to try this one! I chose to use this as a coffee creamer so I added a few Tbsp. of sugar to sweeten it and left out the pepper. I'd like to try Honey as a sweetner next time and try this in green tea as suggested. I liked it and would make this again. Thank's again for posting!
