It didn't turn out how I expected, but it was tasty.&nbsp; <br /><br /> I used 4 black tea bags, 3-4 tsp of ground cinnamon, 2 tsp ground cardamom, 3 cloves, a few grinds of black pepper &amp; a chunk of ginger. It was about 2 in winde piece. I threw it all in a small sausepot and steeped it with boiling water with the lid on for 5 mins. After I strained it with a handheld strainer.<br /><br />I made a latte style drink with it. I used half concentrate and half &amp; half. (I splurged for this) It ended up tasting just like apple pie. Very little tea flavor. Not really the chai spice flavor I was going for. I think next time more cloves, cinnamon sticks &amp; more cardamom, preferably pods if I can find some. <br /><br />We mostly ate leftovers today. We had leftover chicken Japanese style curry for lunch. Planning on eating tamales for dinner. Maybe with bean dip &amp; chips. </span><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=readera&ditemid=33026" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://readera.dreamwidth.org/33026.html food tea tired public 6 https://readera.dreamwidth.org/15681.html Wed, 23 Oct 2019 00:51:52 GMT https://readera.dreamwidth.org/15681.html Instead of a to do list, this is an I did list.
