Masala Chai Syrup - Chai Concentrate
We use masala chai to flavour this syrup. It’s very versatile and can be used to boost the flavour in breakfast dishes, desserts, and drinks.
Ingredients
- 2 tbl Black tea
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 inch Cinnamon stick
- 3 Green cardamom pods crushed
- 1 Star Anise
- 2 Cloves
- 1 cup Caster Sugar
Instructions
- Place a tea strainer over a cup or teapot.
- Add the tea leaves to the strainer.
- Pour 1 cup of boiled water over the tea leaves and let this steep for 5 minutes.
- Combine the other ingredients in a saucepan.
- After 5 minutes, strain the tea leaves mixture into the saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring this to a boil, stirring regularly.
- Once the liquid has come to a boil, reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for a further 5 - 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Don't simmer for longer than 10 minutes as then the syrup may get too thick and crystallise.
- After the 10 minutes, allow the liquid to rest for 2 minutes.
- Then strain the mixture into a glass jar through a fine mesh sieve.
- Allow the mixture to cool and then put the lid on the jar so that it is airtight.
- Store in the fridge and use as required.
