Crock Pot Chai Tea
2 quarts (8 cups) water
8 bags black tea
3/4 cup sugar or Splenda **
16 whole cloves
16 whole cardamom seeds, pods removed
5 cinnamon sticks
8 slices fresh ginger
1 cup milk
Optional: more cinnamon sticks
** Chai is generally a sweet drink, but you may reduce the sweetener to taste
If whole spices are not easily available, you may use powders. However, you will
wish to strain through several layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter before
serving.**
1. Combine water, tea bags, sugar, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon sticks and ginger
in your slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 2-2.5 hours.
2. Strain mixture and discard solids. (At this point, the chai tea may be
covered and refrigerated up to 3 days.)
3. Just before serving, stir in the milk. Serve warm or chilled with additional
cinnamon sticks for garnishes, if desired.
Makes 8-10 servings.
