Although Chai is traditionally a Hindu spiced tea recipe, centuries old, it translates so well to being a Christmas flavour. I used this recipe for my Cherry Compote, which I will be putting up shortly… it’s just so Christmassie and beautiful.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp allspice berries
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp mixed pepper
- ½ tsp cloves
- 1 tsp cardamom seeds
- small piece of cassia bark
- 1 vanilla bean
- 3 pieces of crystallised ginger
Method
- Gently dry roast all the ingredients till fragrant.
- To use, place in a piece of muslin and use as you would a bouquet garni and steep it in boiling water for a chai tea or throw it in to any Christmas inspired dish - again, this is another lovely gift to give, just make a few muslin parcels and place in a jar.
