Chai

Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book


We've found this is just as good chilled and served as an iced beverage as it is hot. It pairs especially well with blueberry pie.

1 black tea bag
1 3-in. piece stick cinnamon
2 C milk
2 T honey
1 t vanilla
1/8 t ground ginger
1/8 t ground cardamom

In a small saucepan, combine tea bag, cinnamon stick, and 1/2 C water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes. Stir the milk, honey, vanilla, ginger, and cardamom into the tea. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through (don't boil it). Remove tea bag and cinnamon and serve or chill.
