Oh I definitely think you can make that time! Seems that if you just keep doing what you're doing (and don't get hurt!) you'll have it.

Mmmm....Indian Chai...

seriously hun, it's like i'm drinking dessert. the rice milk has a neutral/nutty flavor so it really compliments the spices. here's the brand i drink- it's addicting!!!!

chai

Postby JohnV » Tue Apr 15, 2008 7:28 pm

Back in my lactovegertarian days I once made 750 gallons of chai in 2 weeks. ( I was manager of a Hindu temple and we had 200 campers, plus 800 to dinner) Now I make vegan chai, which I'd thought laughable then, when I also used the evil white cane sugar.

You can buy tea for a few bucks a pound well suited at any Indian store. I prefer Assam, (a state known for a variety of strong tea) Boil water with any combination of fresh grated ginger, fresh ground green cardamon, whole black pepper, cinnamon (fresh ground of course) and clove (easy to over do, 1 whole clove is enough for a half dozen cups, don't grind) when it's boiled a minute, shut off, add a heaping spoon of tea to the pot, cover and steep as desired. (never more than 5 minutes) Strain through a fine seine and sweeten as needed. ( I don't)Add rice milk or unsweetened soy and heat back to scalding. Slurp while hot for an authentic experience. Only Englishmen wait 'till it's cool enough to sip politely.

Chai should always be drank fresh.

chai tea lattes are probably the best thing ever... i wish there was somewhere around here that made them with soy milk, and i'm too lazy to make them on my own :cry:

though it's ice cream season now... no more hot drinks!!
