Anyway, through reverse engineering I've come up with the following recipe. It isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Oregon Chai 2 quarts water 4 Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea bags 1 English Breakfast (or other black tea) tea bag Raw (aka Turbinado) sugar* Honey* 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract Heat the water and tea bags in a sauce pan until well steeped. Remove tea bags. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and allow to reduce 25% to 50%**. Let cool, then store in the fridge. * I did not include amounts for these ingredients because it depends on how sweet you want your Chai. I'd start with 1/4 cup of each and work from there. ** This also depends on personal preference. I like mine reduced to the consistency of 2% milk. I'd love to get feedback on this recipe. If you try it out and have comments, especially if you figure out a way to improve it, please e-mail me!
