Spicy, Creamy and Absolutely Delicious!

Ingredients

• 4 cups filtered water
• 3 tablespoons cinnamon chips or 2 sticks
• 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
• 1 tablespoon dried ginger root
• 1 tablespoon rose hips
• 2 teaspoons whole cloves
• 3 astragalus root pieces
• ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 cup raw milk*, organic whole milk or coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons local honey or organic grade B maple syrup

Instructions

1. Combine cinnamon chips, fennel seeds, ginger root, rose hips, cloves, astragalus root and peppercorns in a small bowl or on a plate. {Store in an airtight container if you're not making the Chai Tea right away.}
2. In a medium-size saucepan, bring water to a boil.
3. Add all spices and herbs to the boiling water. Remove from heat, COVER and let steep for 30-45 minutes {the minimum of 30 minutes gives you an infusion, meaning you will get the full nutritional properties from the spices and herbs}.
4. When the tea is done steeping, strain tea with a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl or glass jar/container.
5. Pour Chai Tea back into saucepan, add milk and sweetener of choice. Heat over low heat to desired temperature.
6. Stir to combine and serve hot.
