GCE2012: Chai #6

CHAI NUMBER 6 (9/25/12)

After a hiatus, the chai experiment will resume, this time, coming at you from Oakland, cA.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 tsp cinnamon and ginger (each)
• slightly more than 1/8 tsp ground pepper
• almost 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 8 cloves and 5 cardamoms
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cups milk
• 1 tbs tea
• 1.5 tsp honey

Preparation:
Bring water and spices to a boil, then simmer for 5 min.  Add tea, simmer for 4 more min.  Add milk and honey.

Modifications: more fennel, less tea, more simmering of spices in water, honey instead of sugar, two types of milk because we ran out of coconut milk

Chai #6 Rated 3/5

Comments:

• Not as much spice flavor as previous ones
• Coconut milk solids are suspended - not sure why

Rating (of 5):

• Luke: 3.3, coconut milk is holding the rating down
• Ari: 3.7, not bad, but not anything great.
