Ingredients

Makes a pot of tea - about 2-3 cups of chai

  • 4 bags Saffron Rose Tea

  • 3-5 Saffron threads

  • 1 tsp Honey

  • 1 cup Almond milk or Evaporated milk

Method

  1. Bring 6 cups water to a boil in a medium pot or tea kettle. Add tea bags and saffron and bring to a boil.

  2. Add almond milk evaporated milk and return to a boil again, watching carefully to ensure the tea doesn’t boil over. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thick, creamy, and caramel in color, about 30 minutes. (The longer the tea simmers the stronger and creamier it will be.)

  3. Strain tea through a mesh and discard the teabags in the compost. Add a few more saffron threads as a garnish onto the frothy top of the drink.
