Yogi Chai is the specialty and most served tea at Bramble Wood's Royal Tea Shop. So, here's a recipe for all you to enjoy.
The Yogi Chai is a variation of the popular Indian tea called chai. It is an infusion of spices with black tea and served with milk and sugar. In India, it is the equivalent of a pick-me-up because the hot, spicy tea rejuvenates you like nothing else. Just a few sips of it will bring back your lost vigor.
For a mug of this chai (about 10 oz) you will need:
Equal quantity of milk and water
Cardamom pods- 3
Cloves- 4
Cinnamon stick- 1/2 inch stick
Pepper corns- 2
Ginger- 1 inch, grated
Black tea (Assam tea works best)- 2-3 heaped teaspoons depending on how strong you want it
Sugar to taste
Method:
1) Put the milk and water into a saucepan.
2) Crush the whole dry spices lightly and add to the saucepan.
3) Grate the ginger and add the fresh herbs it to the mixture.
4) Add the tea and bring it to boil. Simmer for five minutes. The longer it stays on the stove, the stronger the flavor.
5) Take it off the flame and pour in your favorite mug through a sieve to catch all the bits.
6) Enjoy while hot!
Goes well with cakes and hot, fried snacks.
If this wayyyy too much bother, you can buy this ready to use mix. I use this too lol
