7 Spice Sri Lankan Chai
7 Spice Sri Lankan Chai
This was made for us from the garden we work with in Sri Lanka. This is a distinctly Sri Lankan Style Chai and is less “perfumey” then traditional ones you may be used to. We love the unexpected “zing” at the end from the red chili, and unlike most chais this makes a fantastic, refreshing iced tea.
It took 3 months to get here, but it was well worth the wait and there is a very limited amount and we do not know when we will be able to get this again.
Ingredients: Blended with Ceylon BOP black tea and 7 spices: cinnamon, cloves, coriander, fennel, ginger, black pepper and red chili.
Directions: Heat 6 oz.- 8 oz of water (212ºF preferred) over 1/2 -1 teaspoon of tea. Steep 2-5 minutes, strain and serve immediately.
Caffeine: Yes. If you are sensitive or have an allergy to caffeine, our suggestion is to skip tea and drink herbal infusions or rooibos.
