Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 5 pieces Whole cloves
- 5 pieces, crushed Cardamom pods
- 5 whole Black peppercorns
- 2 bags Black tea bags
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste Stevia
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine water, cinnamon stick, ginger, cloves, cardamom pods, and black peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the spices simmer for about 5 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the black tea bags to the saucepan and let them steep in the spiced water for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the tea bags and whole spices by straining the liquid into a large bowl or pitcher.
Stir in the vanilla extract and stevia, adjusting the sweetener to taste.
Allow the chai concentrate to cool to room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
Divide the chilled chai concentrate evenly between the glasses, filling them halfway.
Top up each glass with unsweetened almond milk, stirring gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing sugar-free iced chai!
