ginger tea, How it turned out

well i made the ginger tea in my zarafina, and its turned out pretty good, though the first try was pretty weak because i used the herbal setting but i used the black tea setting gave much more flavour. i added orange zest which also has come through nicely. although i think ill try it in a tea ball or a brewt next time so it can steep longer. ginger is supposed to be great for you and i think for digestion especially which would be nice after the gluten binge i had yesterday.

how to make chai tea

i found this recipe and i intend to make this in the next couple of days. i just need to find a couple of these ingredients, then the mayhem will ensue. i grabbed this off of wikihow (link)

 

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger root; grated
• 1 whole star anise; broken up
• 1 teaspoon orange peel; grated
• 4 pieces cinnamon bark (canela); 1 1/2 inch
• 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds
• 10 whole cloves
• 5 whole peppercorns
• 5 cups water
• 1/4 cup black tea leaves; (like Assam or Darjeeling)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 cups milk

Steps

1. Bundle up the first seven ingredients in a length of cheese cloth and tie it together with a string. This is called a bouquet garni (pronounced “boo-KAY gar-NEE”).
2. Place the bouquet garni in a pot of water. The string should be tied to the handle for easy removal later on.
3. Bring the water to a very low boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Boiling water may extract too much bitterness from the tea leaves.
4. Add tea leaves and continue simmering for 15 minutes.
5. Remove the bouquet garni.
6. Strain the remaining liquid through a sieve to remove tea leaves.
7. Add honey, vanilla, and milk.
8. Serve. Pour the mixture over crushed ice if you’re serving it cold. This makes eight servings.

D.I.Y Latte

Chocolate ecstasy Matcha

This is the first matcha I’ve had its by Domo which makes a fusion matchas like latte powder and it says its organic. Using organic matcha and cane sugar (better then corn syrup or some soy based shit). The ingredient; skim milk powder, evaporated cane juice, matcha green tea powder, and natural food flavour (not sure what there saying here).

I tried this by making a little latte, which went something like this.

•    Fill coffee cup with milk with some room at the top
•    Microwave for 1-2 minutes
•    Add 1-2 tbsp of matcha powder and stir until dissolved
•    Steam with your espresso machines frothier
•    Drink it up
