Chai Tea

Rather than writing about one particular herb this month, I thought I’d write about ten; that is ten wonderful herbs in my own blend of “High Energy Chai Tea”, an energizing blend of herbs. My husband and I, and our family and friends have been enjoying this Chai for quite awhile. I love it hot during the cooler season, but I also enjoy it iced during the summer. Hot Chai Tea is aromatic, delicious and easy to prepare. When you brew Chai, the entire house smells like the holidays. I love to brew my Chai, strain it and then add honey and Vanilla Almond Milk. You can also enjoy it black, or use with Agave Nectar as a sweetener and any milk will do (Soy, Half and Half or regular milk). I serve it with dessert when having a dinner party. It’s so delicious and so economical.

High Energy Chai Tea contains: Cinnamon chips, Ginger Root, Cardamom Pods, Coriander, Cloves, Chinese Star Anise, Black Pepper, Black Tea, Ginseng powder and Guarana powder. The last two ingredients are what give it the name of “High Energy” It truly does give me a boost when I need it at 4pm in the afternoon.

Chai means “Tea” in Sanskrit. When traveling to India you can sample many different kinds of Chai. In America, Chai is a wonderful alternative to coffee, a tasty and refreshing beverage and has some medicinal properties. Chai is good for digestion, containing many “Carminative herbs”, and assists in stimulating one’s metabolism.

Brewing Directions

Use two tablespoons of dried herbs per quart of water. Gently boil the herbs for 30 minutes. Strain the herbs and mix tea with your choice of milk and sweetener. After straining the herbs, refill your pot with water and reuse the herbs a second time. Boil for 45 minutes. The tea is just as good the second time. Your pot of tea can be left on the stove, without refrigeration, for up to 48 hours, and sometimes longer. So delicious and so economical!

Chai Tea is one of my best selling herbal products and one that I enjoy nearly everyday at home. Perhaps you’ll give Chai a try and brew up some of your own. You will love it
