Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2-4 large black tea bags
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients (besides the tea bags) in a pot and bring the water to a rolling boil. Boil for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
- Add the tea bags to the pot and let steep until cooled.
- Strain the chai concentrate through a cheese cloth and store in the fridge until ready to use.
Notes
- Make it spicier - for a spicier chai concentrate, use a ½ teaspoon of black pepper (instead of a ¼ teaspoon).
- Omit the sweetener - if you’re looking to go sugar free here, feel free to omit the maple syrup or replace it with a sugar-free sweetener.
- Use decaffeinated tea - if you want a chai latte without the caffeine, feel free to use decaffeinated black tea bags!
