Chai Tea

I have been listening to many of Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai's videos and they are wonderful. This particular one video entitled,  Dr.SHIVA LIVE: How to Make Real Chai Tea. Your Body, Your System is a must watch. 

I started making his recipe for Chia tea and absolutely LOVE it. 

It calls for all organic ingredients.

Ginger

Cinnamon Sticks

Cloves

Anise 

Cardamom

Pepper Corns

Black Tea

Whole Milk

Water ( I used filtered water from my Berkey)

Sweetener ( your choice )

Dr. Shiva explains step-by-step how to make the Chia tea in the video. 

Basically this is what you do.

4 cups of water

I use 2-3 Black Tea bags

2-3 inches of Ginger (remove skin and use mortar and pestle to grind the ginger up)

2 Cinnamon Sticks (grind with mortar and pestle)

4 Cloves (grind with mortar and pestle)

2 Anise Stars (grind with mortar and pestle)

Cardamom 1/8 tsp

4 Pepper Corns (grind with mortar and pestle)

2 cups whole milk

Jaggery for Sweetener

Grinding the spices and ginger. 

Boiling the spices.

Adding in the milk.

Enjoying my wonderful cup of Chai tea!
