Cooking today
Nov. 6th, 2022 05:24 pmToday I made chai concentrate as I am craving a spiced latte. It didn't turn out how I expected, but it was tasty.
I used 4 black tea bags, 3-4 tsp of ground cinnamon, 2 tsp ground cardamom, 3 cloves, a few grinds of black pepper & 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.
I made a latte style drink with it. I used half concentrate and half & 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 & more cardamom, preferably pods if I can find some.
We mostly ate leftovers today. We had leftover chicken Japanese style curry for lunch. Planning on eating tamales for dinner. Maybe with bean dip & chips.
