Our Chai Recipe

Where I live in Canada, it has been a blizzard for the past 24 hours. Extremely windy, rainy and snowy. I had to venture outside today, and I got bone-chillingly cold. To remedy, I am going to make myself a vegan chai. I adapted a few recipes to get to my preference, I recommend that you do the same to find your perfect chai.
 

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp Loose leaf black tea (mine came from my good friend’s mom who bought it at an Indian grocery store)
• 2-3-star anise pods
• 4-6 cardamom pods
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger (powdered or fresh)
• 1 tsp honey (or to taste)
• ½ cup almond or oat milk (or whatever milk you prefer)

1. Boil the water.
2. As the water boils, in a mortar and pestle, combine the herbs.
3. Steep the tea and combined herbs for 3-4 minutes. Strain out the tea.
4. Warm the milk, do not boil.
5. Combine tea and milk.
6. Add honey to taste
7. Enjoy.
