Recipe: Making Chai Syrup

Like last year, I want to share my Chai Syrup recipe for cold winter days with you. I hope you all had lovely christmas celebrations!

You need for 250 ml:

10 g ginger
 6 capsules of cardamom
 1 teaspoon of black pepper
 1 vanilla bean
 3 cinnamon sticks
 4 cloves
250 g sugar
3 bags of black tea

1.
  ➳ Shell the ginger and cut it in thin pieces.
  ➳ Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise & scrape out the core.

➳   Crush the cardamom and pepper in a mortar so that the  capsules open up.

 


2. 
 ➳ Put the cardamom, pepper, cinnamon sticks and cloves in a pot.
 ➳ Roast them with stirring until they start to scent.


3.  
     ➳ Add 500 ml water.
    ➳ Add ginger, sugar, vanilla core and bean in the pot.
    ➳ Boil it up.
    ➳ Add the teabags and let all simmer for 10 minutes.
    ➳ Remove the teabags after 5 minutes.
    ➳ Let everything brew for 30 minutes.

4. 
      ➳ Pass the liquid through a fine sieve, then allow the liquid (in the pot again) to reduce to
         almost a concentrate of 250 ml.

     ➳ Fill it hot in a clean bottle and allow it to cool down.

I've made a bunch of this yummy liquid for me and my friends ♥

You can drink it in tea, cacao or coffee or use it for desserts or your breakfast porridge!
