Chai Blend

This loose leaf black tea creation is made of Indian spices sprinkled with ginger bits, clove, red peppercorns and cardamom pods.

Origin:  Chinese and Sri Lanka teas. Blended in France.

How to Steep: Quick method for an 8oz cup. In an 8 oz cup place 3 tsp of Chai tea leaves in a tea filter. Pour 4 oz of hot boiling water over tea leaves and steep for 7 minutes; strain out tea leaves, sweeten as you like then add 4 oz of hot milk, or cold milk and ice for an iced latte. Experiment and adjust amounts to your liking.

Stove top method per 8 oz serving: Using 3 tsp of Chai black tea, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup of water bring all to a slow boil then turn heat off, place lid on pot and steep for 10 minutes. Strain leaves, add favorite sweetener and enjoy!  This Stove Top method is especially aromatic simmering on the stove top during cold months of the year. 

Note: Loose leaf tea leaves use up some of the original serving of hot water during the steeping process leaving you with a tad less liquid than you started with.
