A cup of fragrant tea is good at any time, but especially in the evenings, when you can put all your worries aside, wrap yourself in a blanket, open your favorite book or turn on the long-awaited TV series. Chilly autumn and winter, when you want warmth and sun, you can diversify your tea drinking and prepare a fragrant and hot, like a sunny summer noon, masala tea. Of course, you can buy ready-made options in the store, but why not make a mixture for a wonderful drink yourself?
It is necessary
- Spice:
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground or grated nutmeg
- 1.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1
Ginger. Better to use already dried. But if you don't have one at hand, cut fresh into slices and dry in the oven or leave in the air in a warm place. Ginger dries quickly, and all you have to do is grind it in a coffee grinder or grind it in a mortar.
Step 2
Of course, it is better to grind all the spices yourself. The aroma of the freshly ground masala tea mix is breathtaking.
Step 3
Mix everything well, pour into an airtight container or jar. Store in a dry and dark place.
Step 4
Here is a recipe for masala tea with homemade homemade mixture.
For a cup of boiling water, you will need 1 teaspoon of your mixture, a black tea bag (you can substitute green or Earl Gray tea).
Start by dissolving honey in hot water, stirring constantly. Add the tea masala seasoning mixture and tea bag to the water. Cover the cup and let the masala brew for about 7 minutes.
Then add warm milk there. But if you don't like milk, you can do fine without it.
Masala tea is ready, and you can enjoy a spicy, slightly scalding warming drink, accompanied by the sound of autumn rain.
Step 5
The spicy chai masala mix can be added to Greek yogurt and used in desserts such as baked goods. It also goes well with spicy sauces, meat dishes and spicy puree soups.
Step 6
From the mixture, yogurt, milk and masala tea, you can make a wonderful cocktail, smoothie. For one cup of ready-made masala tea, take 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, no sugar or sweeteners, 2/3 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
All ingredients must be placed in a blender.
Beat everything until the mass becomes homogeneous, pleasant cream color.
After that, the smoothie should be poured into glasses and served immediately.
Add ice cubes or crushed ice if you want to cool off and not just fill up.
This option is good for a light snack or a quick breakfast when nothing else is needed.
