Haute Tea


For those that know me I'm a connoisseur of fine teas, with that being said H&HS will be highlighting some recipes that you can do at home. One of my favorites is Indian Spice Chai Tea, take a sip this Sunday morning and enjoy!


INGREDIENTS
4 cup water
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon cardamom seeds
1 item 2-inch stick cinnamon
3 item quarter-size slices of fresh ginger, coarsely crushed
2 teaspoon loose black tea leaves or 3 tea bags
8 to 10 item black peppercorns



PREPARATION
In medium-size saucepan, add everything except tea leaves and honey; bring to boil over high heat. Lower heat; continue to boil another minute to extract maximum flavor from spices. Add tea, turn off heat, cover pan, and set aside to steep, about 3 minutes. Pour through a tea strainer or very fine mesh strainer into teacups. Discard spices and leaves. Serve hot with honey or sugar on the side.
