Ingredients

Chai Tea Concentrate

  • 4 black tea bags
  • 235 ml – 1 cup boiling water
  • 85 ml – 6 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¾ tsp ground cardamom
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg

For Serving (Per Glass)

  • 175 ml – ¾ cup milk of choice
  • 1 ½ cups ice
  • 60 ml – ¼ cup chai concentrate

Instructions

Chai Concentrate

  1. Place the tea bags in a large mug or measuring jug, then pour over the boiling water. Allow to steep for 3 to 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags.
  2. While the tea is steeping, add the ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg to a jar with a lid. Shake well to combine.
  3. Add the maple syrup to the spice mix and shake well to combine.

  4. Pour the brewed tea into the jar and shake again until everything is well combined.

To Serve

  1. Fill a glass with ice and pour in the milk.

  2. Shake the chai concentrate well, then add about 60 ml – ¼ cup to the glass and stir to combine.

    Note: Adjust to taste by adding more concentrate for a stronger flavour or more milk for a milder drink.

  3. Serve immediately while cold.

Recipe Notes

  • Store the chai concentrate in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • The spices will settle over time. Give it a good shake before using.
  • Adjust the sweetness with more or less maple syrup depending on your taste.
