Backward Chai
from Sunlight Cafe by Mollie Katzen
1 cup milk
2 cinnamon sticks
[2 tsp fennel seeds] (I didn't have any. Omitted w/out worry)
16 cardamom pods
8 whole cloves
1/8 tsp ground coriander
1 1/2 cups hot black tea, brewed very strong
Honey
Ground cinnamon
- Pour the milk into a saucepan and add all the spices except the honey and ground cinnamon. Place over medium heat.
- Just before the milk reaches the boiling point, turn the heat down and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
- Strain the milk mixture into the black tea.
- Stir in honey to taste. Pour into mugs. Sprinkle each with cinnamon and serve hot.
Serves 2-3
