Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semolina
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 pieces chai tea bag
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 medium apple
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted nuts (optional)
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin wedges.
In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and cook for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly.
Drizzle the honey over the apples and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are golden and caramelized. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring the milk, water, and chai tea bags to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes before removing the tea bags.
In a separate large pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the semolina and toast it for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it is lightly golden and fragrant.
Slowly pour the chai-infused milk mixture into the toasted semolina while stirring continuously to avoid clumps. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency.
Stir in the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, adjusting the sweetness to taste.
Divide the chai semolina into serving bowls. Top with the honey apples and garnish with toasted nuts, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy!
