Chai this!


If you like Chai tea lattes, try this simple recipe for Chai concentrate made with condensed milk and spices.
The original recipe can be found here.  There are several out there, but they are all basically the same with varying combinations of spices.  Feel free to experiment with the amount and type of spices you prefer to suit your tastes. I used:

I 300ml can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
2 teaspoon each cinnamon and ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon each cloves and nutmeg
a couple good grinds of black pepper (optional)
OR 5-7 teaspoons masala tea spice mix 

Simply pour the condensed milk into a clean jar, mix spices into the milk with a small whisk or fork and done!
Enjoy by brewing a a strong cup of black tea and swirling in a tablespoon or two once fully steeped until completely melted and creamy looking.   If you want to get really fancy, froth some milk mason jar technique is quick and very ingenious if you don't own a milk frother.  Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and enjoy a chai tea latte any ol time without leaving the comfort of your home.  This concentrate can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 months (unlikely to last that long though!) 
Might taste good in a bowl of steamy oatmeal or unsweetened greek yogurt.
