Experiments - In the Kitchen

Happy Monday!!!

The following recipe fits in perfectly with our summer mission of being intentional and enjoying every bit of each day. It would be perfect for a gathering of friends, family, or turning an every day moment into a special occasion. Can we ever have too many options for iced goodness during summer's hot days?

While working on a new recipe for iced coffee this morning, I had a wild-hare thought: "What would this taste like using tea instead of coffee?" Guess what! It tasted great! Here's the recipe for a tasty new Iced Chai Tea drink using ingredients already in the pantry. 

ICED CHAI TEA
  • 2 t. instant tea
  • 1 T. brown sugar (I know it's a lot, but this isn't an everyday type drink.)
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 3 T. warm water
  • 6 oz. cold milk
Place tea, brown sugar, vanilla, and water in a tightly lidded jar. Shake until foamy. Pour over ice in glass.  Add milk to glass, and enjoy.

*Because I can't stand to leave any of the "goodie" in the jar, after pouring the tea-sugar mixture over the ice, I added the milk to the jar, put the lid on, and gave it a good shaking. THEN I added it to the glass. This scooped up any of the tea/sugar left in the jar.

**A very tiny bit of black pepper will make this recipe resemble a traditional chai flavor even more.
