Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 bags black tea ($0.51)
- 4 small sticks cinnamon ($1.50)
- 1 inch fresh ginger ($0.11)
- 10 whole cloves ($0.39)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla ($0.14)
- 1/2 cup sugar ($0.08)
Instructions
- 1
Place four cups of water in a medium pot. Add the cinnamon sticks, tea bags, whole cloves and ginger (peel and slice the fresh ginger).
- 2
Bring the pot up to a boil, place a lid on top, reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes to make sure it is brewed strong.
- 3
Remove the pot from the heat and carefully strain out the tea bags and spices (Place a colander over a bowl and pour it in). Using whole spices not only adds more flavor but makes straining them out much much easier.

While the spiced tea is still hot, stir in the sugar and vanilla. Store the chai concentrate in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
