I came across a recipe a couple years ago that is perfect for cooler weather. It's for Chai tea. Now usually the only way I drink tea is on ice. But this recipe is a must have for me now. So I thought I would share it with you. It has quite a bit of sugar in it, but I like my tea sweet, I'm from the South you know! But I'm sure you could tweak this recipe to suit your taste. This is the original recipe as I found it on Allrecipes.com and I love it!
Chai Tea Mix
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup powered nondairy creamer
1 cup French vanilla powered creamer
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweet instant tea
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
optional: 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Combine all ingredients.
To serve: Stir 2 heaping Tablespoons into a mug of hot water.
I think this would make a great gift, wrapped up in a cellophane bag with a pretty ribbon, tucked into a mug. Or put some in a canister with the recipe written on a handmade tag. I'm sure the recipient will love it!
So even though my thermometer says it's close to 90 degrees, I could not resist making myself a cup. I think I'll enjoy this one sitting under the air conditioner vent!
