Roses smell divine! Paired with the sweetness of cardamom and the earthy, warm flavor of ginger, makes this chai is very inviting. This flowery, slightly hot (due to ginger) and sweet chai is a must-try.
Ingredients:
- Tea leaves - 3 tsp
- Rose petals - 15-20
- Ginger - 1 inch
- Milk (or) vegan milk - 0.75 cup
- Cardamom - 4 pods
- Sugar (or) honey - 3 tsp
Method:
- Grate ginger into a vessel ('Soup' mode in IP)
- Tear the rose petals leaves into it
- Add water and bring to a boil
- Add tea leaves and boil for a minute
- Add milk and let it boil for another minute
- Turn off heat
- Powder the cardamom pods (along with the skin) and add to the tea
- Cover and let it sit for 2-3 mins and let the flavors steep
- Strain into cups
- Add sugar (or honey if preferred) and serve hot
Tips and Tricks:
- Heating water in a hot water kettle expedites the process
- To cut the time needed to grate or process the flavorings, put them all in a blender jar with half a cup of hot water and pulse. (Ginger will be grated, leaves/petals will be ripped, zest will be incorporated, etc.!) Pour it into the vessel and whisk the remaining hot water in the blender jar and use that for the tea. Clean up will be done instantly
- Rose petals smell divine and are great to reduce stress/anxiety
- Per cup of tea, use: 1 cup water; less than half a cup of milk and little more than a tsp of tea leaves
