Starbucks Tazo Chai Tea

2-1/2 cups water
6-8 green cardamom pods
2 whole black peppercorns
1-2 slices fresh ginger, peeled and diced
2 sticks cinnamon
1-2 cloves
2/3 cup (175 ml) milk
4 tsp honey
2-3 tsp loose black tea

Put the water in a saucepan, add the spices, and bring to a boil.

Turn down the heat and let simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Add milk
and sugar and bring to a boil (or heavy simmer).

Add tea, turn off the heat, and let infuse for two to three minutes. Strain into two cups and serve hot.

Starbucks Mystic Chai Tea Mix (Instant Chai Tea Mix )

1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened instant tea
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom

**Cardamom powder is very expensive. If you have a coffee bean grinder, buy the whole seeds (much cheaper) and grind them to a powder yourself.

Mix the vanilla into the sugar, let it dry, then break the sugar into small lumps.

In a large bowl, combine milk powder, non-dairy creamer, sugar - vanilla mixture, and instant tea. Stir in ginger, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom.

In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder.

To serve: Stir 2 heaping tablespoons Chai tea mixture into a mug of hot water.

You can spice it up even further by adding 1 teaspoon nutmeg and allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.

Iced Caramel Macchiato

Same ingredients, plus some small ice cubes and (optional) whipped cream.

In a pint glass or iced tea glass (we’re assuming 16 oz), add vanilla syrup and fill about 3/5 of the way with cold milk. Add ice almost to the top and pour espresso (2 shots would be typical) over the top.

If you’ve done it right, the espresso will mix in only about half way down without stirring. If adding whipped cream, add it here.
