Whole Spice Chai Mix

Ingredients

1 tsp allspice berries

1 tsp coriander seeds

1 tsp mixed pepper

1/2 tsp cloves

1 tsp cardamom seeds

small piece of cassia bark

1 vanilla bean

3 pieces of crystallised ginger

Method

Gently dry roast all the ingredients till fragrant.

To use, place in a piece of muslin and use as you would a bouquet garni and steep it in boiling water for a chai tea or throw it in to any Christmas inspired dish – again, this is another lovely gift to give, just make a few muslin parcels and place in a jar.

Although Chai is traditionally a Hindu spiced tea recipe, centuries old, it translates so well to being a Christmas flavour. I used this recipe for my Cherry Compote, which I will be putting up shortly… it’s just so Christmassie and beautiful.
