Chai tea syrup / concentrate:

1 Liter / 4 cups water

Put all of the spices in one large tea filter bagand tie it shut with kitchen twine.  The samecan be done with the tea in another filter. If you use teabags don’t forget to take the labels off. You can use a cheesecloth square section as well, or you can just add your spices to the waterand strain them out later.

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot.

Add tea and spices. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20/25 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat.

If you are using tea filter bags or cheesecloth and tea bags, just take them off the water. (If not strain concentrate and pour it back into the pot.)

Add brown sugar and maple syrup. Stir well to dissolve and bring toa boil.

NO COOK CHAI ICE CREAM

SERVES 2

Ingredients:

1/2 cup whole milk
6 scoops Trader Joe’s Spicy Chai Tea Latte Mix
half and half (about 1/2 cup)
3 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

Heat up the ½ cup whole milk in a microwave proof measuring cup (the flex-it ones are my favorite for liquids) until is warm and just before boiling. Add 6 scoops of the chai mix and stir until the mix completely dissolves. Top it off with half and half until there are 1 ½ cups of liquid. Place the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes so it can cool.

Whisk together the chai mixture, heavy cream and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into a running ice cream maker and run it according to the manufacture’s directions. I recommend tasting the mixture before pouring it into the ice cream machine. Since the Trader Joe’s chai mix already has sugar in it, I chose not to add any, but you may want to add 2 tablespoons of sugar to make it a bit sweeter.

If you’re using the Cuisinart one, like mine, I recommend running it for 20-25 minutes. Any longer and the ice cream will overflow. Once it’s churned, spread the ice cream in an air tight ice cream container (this one is my favorite because you get perfectly round scoops) and put it in the freezer overnight. Then it’s ready to be enjoyed tomorrow!
