Chai Latte

I'm not a coffee drinker ;) But I do love a good sweet spicy chai latte, has anyone made one or something similar that I could adapt?

J have made variations - the first time I saw a recipe was on Fresh - the channel 9 program.

It was an idea for a xmas present a year or so ago -may be this http://aww.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=277242

Give you a basis - then adapt with favourite flavours.  I add the sugar to the water/milk while boiling.

Chai chai !

You can find a nice-looking recipe here, all the way from India. The spice mix is under the title "Ingredients for Masala Chai" (masala meaning a spice mix).

Otherwise, you can mix together all this and keep it in a jar that closes really well:
6 allspice berries
2 Tbsp of cardamom seeds (remove husks)
6 Tbsp cinnamon bark, roughly crushed (wrap in cloth and use hammer on it)
1 Tbsp of coriander seed
25 black peppercorns
3 Tbsp of fennel seeds

To make up the tea, bring softly to a boil  170 ml milk with 4 Tbsp sugar and 500 ml water plus one more or less heaping Tbsp of the spice mix. When it boils, remove from fire, cover and steep for 3 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp black tea, let steep for 3 more minutes. Filter and serve in cups.

I must now confess I am now using a mix I brought back from India a year ago, I save these for when I finish it.

I'm sorry I never noticed the link wasn't working. I believe this was the one: http://www.zaiqa.com/recipe/18945/spicy-dutch-biscuits-chocolate-mint-fudge-and-masala-chai-by-zarnak-sidhwa but I don't really remember. This recipe actually seems to come from Pakistan, I wouldn't like to create an international incident. As I said, the recipe is near the bottom of the page, under "Ingredients for Masala Chai". Otherwise, this must have been the one I meant, as I have copied it to my PC: http://sominty.com/food/indian-masala-chai/

I buy masala chai from www.yahava.com.au. I brew it in a plunger or French press. Put a teaspoon of honey in a latte, glass half fill glass with chai and top up with heated frothed milk.

Sorry I haven't linked the web address I don't know how to create links on tapatalk.
