Coconut chai tea

By Maranda Engelbrecht
4
Easy
5 minutes
5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 x 4 cm piece fresh ginger
  • 1 stick cinnamon, broken
  • 6 peppercorns
  • 2 cloves
  • 6 cardamom pods
  • 1 T Indian or black tea leaves
  • 1 cup milk
  • 48 g sugar
  • 2 cups coconut milk

Method

Dry the ginger in the oven by grilling for 1 minute on each side. Using a pestle and mortar, crush the dried ginger, cinnamon, peppercorns, cloves, cardamom pods and tea leaves to form a paste.

Using a deep saucepan, combine the milk and the paste, and gently heat. Add the sugar and bring to a boil. Add the coconut milk and heat through, but do not boil. Strain and serve warm in glasses.
