My Favourite Spice Tea Recipe
This easy to make tea is made with a few simple ingredients. It really reminds me of Chai tea, but it's got a little extra zip with the addition of fresh ginger root, cloves and black peppercorns (don't look at me like that- just go ahead and try it). I made it in my Instant Pot, but you could just as easily make it on the stove. I just don't like burning propane when prices are so high, so the Instant Pot saves the day again.
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 20 whole cloves
- 20 whole black peppercorns
- 4 whole cinnamon sticks
- 10 slices fresh ginger root
- 2 tbsp black tea
- 2 tbsp ground cardomom (use 15 whole green pods if you have them)
- 1 tbsp tumeric powder
- 10 cups water
Instructions
- Put water into the Instant Pot pot and add ginger root slices, cinnamon sticks, black peppercorns, and cloves. If you are going to use cardamom pods, you can add them here.
- Put black tea, ground cardamom, and turmeric, into a tea bag and tie it tighlty so the smaller, finer ingredients can't escape.
- Set Instant Pot to Pressure Cook for 8 Minutes
- After time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally.
- Serve hot, pouring into a cup and adding your favorite sweetener and oat milk. I used maple syrup to sweeten mine and it was a perfect balance for the spice mix.
