Chai Tea Concentrate Recipe Review - Flora Foodie

Chai Tea Concentrate Recipe Review

I have been meaning to share this recipe for a really long time.  I think I first tried it right around the same time I started the blog.
 
But to me, chai tea lattes are a fall and winter treat.  So I’ve been waiting.  And now it’s finally time!  
 

Thanks to this awesome recipe from The Vegan Slow Cooker, I made myself a giant pitcher of home-brewed chai tea concentrate to last me all week.  Warming and fall-like and delicious!

 
recipe from The Vegan Slow Cooker
serves a whole lot
6 C water
5 slices fresh ginger
7 whole cinnamon sticks
10 whole cloves
10 whole peppercorns
8 whole allspice berries
¼ t cardamom seeds
10 tea bags
½ to 1 C agave nectar or maple syrup (optional)
Throw everything except last two ingredients into slow cooker.  Cook on low 8-10 hours (I did on high 3 hours and that worked wonderfully.)  Then add tea bags, cook on high for 5-10 minutes, and mix in sweetener at the end.  I think it’s fantastic without the sweetener, so I leave it out.  Your call! 
 
 
Now you’ve got your concentrate.  Mix equal parts concentrate and your favorite non-dairy milk (soooo good with steamed vanilla soy milk!)  You can add a splash of sweetener to a single serving instead of adding to the whole mix if you want. 
 
Travel version for work: Mason jar of the concentrate.  Jar of soy milk.  Mug and microwave at work – I’m all set! 
I was especially happy to have my travel version today because work was so cold that I got my picnic blanket out of my car and wrapped myself up in it.  I’m oh-so-professional 🙂 
 
Nutrition facts: I have no idea!  It’s tea with spices infused!  Just enjoy and don’t add too much sweetener.
