Green Chai Tea 1 cup dry green tea leaves 1/2 cup dry black tea leaves (orange pekoe, earl grey, darjeeling...) 1 Tbsp ginger powder 1 Tbsp whole cloves 1 Tbsp crushed cinnamon sticks 2 tsp cardamom powder (add 1 tsp crushed fennel seeds for a lovely accent!) Combine all ingredients and store in a jar or tin. Makes about 1 1/2 cups of dry green chai mix. TO BREW: Place one teaspoon of the chai mix in a metal tea ball or reuseable cloth tea bag. Or spoon one teaspoon per cup of hot water into a teapot. Steep several minutes and serve with milk (dairy or non-dairy) and sweetener. Alternately, boil the mixture in a pot, simmering for 10 minutes or more, with extra slices of fresh ginger for an excellently pungent brew: use 1 cup of liquid (half water/half milk (dairy or non-dairy) is very nice) with 1 tsp chai mix for each cup of tea. Sweeten with honey or sugar if desired.
