Different Format- Chai with CAAM Holiday Meetup This Month

Read more for a Chai Spice Blend Recipe!

Everyone here at CAAM wishes you a happy holiday season- and we'll start it off (or jump- in in the middle) by having a holiday meetup for anyone interested. Meet CAAM Board members and each other. I'll update this space as the event shapes up.

If you can't make it, we look forward to seeing you next year.

Until then, enjoy your Chai!

Here's a recipe for you. I prefer to keep all my herbs in cut/sifted form and grind them just when I need them. Try it. You'll thank me.

Chai Spice Blend

  • 4 Tbsp cinnamon chips

  • 3 Tbsp c/s ginger (or use fresh ginger on the day you're making chai)

  • 1 Tbsp cardamom seeds

  • 1 tsp black pepper 

  • 1 tsp nutmeg pieces (or grind up about 1/8 tsp on the day you're making chai)

  • 1 tsp cloves

Instructions

  • Use about 1- 1 ½ tsp ground herbs per cup of Chai

  • Add ground spices (and fresh ginger/nutmeg) to ½- cup water and bring to a boil.

  • Boil 3 min and then allow to steep for up to 15 min.

  • Turn off heat. (May steep 1 black tea bag for a few minutes here if desired)

  • Strain out the herbs (optional)

  • Add ½ cup milk of your choice and sweetener if desired.

  • Drink warm

See you in 2027!
