Tea Recipes http://www.teaindia.org/teaRecipe.html Tea is the most popular hot beverage all over the world not only because of its great aroma and invigorating taste but also because of the ease of preparing it. To make a hot cup of tea, at first boil fresh water in a kettle. Pour the boiling hot water in a teapot in which you have put tea leaves(one spoonful per cup). Let the liquor stand for about three minutes. Give more time for bigger leaf varieties. Stir with a spoon and then pour it into cups. Add milk and sugar to taste. Your steaming hot cup of tea is now ready! Indian tea is versatile in the sheer range of offerings it has to give the discerning tea drinker. You can ice it, spice it, cream it, punch it, and even make a meal of it. Here are a few recipes you can try out at home and celebrate with on any occasion! Lemon Tea A tempter at all times! Into a piping hot cup of tea, add a few drops of lemon instead of milk, and sugar to taste. Stir and sip in the goodness of tea with the richness of lemon. Hot Spiced Afternoon Tea 4 pints water, 1/2 level tsp. whole cloves, 1/2 a stick of cinnamon, 1 oz. tea, 4 oz. sugar, 1/4 pint Orange Juice or Squash, Juice of 2 lemons, Cinnamon sticks to serve. Add the spices to the water and bring to the boil. Pour onto the tea and allow to brew for 5 minutes. Stir, strain onto the sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the fruit juices. To reheat before serving (if necessary) place over a low heat-do not simmer or boil. Serve with cinnamon sticks. Sufficient for 12 people. Masala Chai An aromatic spiced tea, has been the Indian drink of choice for hundreds of years. It is the perfect blend of freshly ground spices (masala) like cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom and pepper, added to a boiling pot of loose leaf tea and milk to make a delicious, satisfying and healthy beverage. Spiced Citrus Tea Makes 10-12 drinks. 1 cup sugar, 2 cups cold water, 1 teaspoon chai masala, 6 cups boiling water, 2 tablespoons loose tea leaves, Juice of 2 lemons, Juice of 2 oranges, 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice, Fresh orange or lemon slices for garnishing. Combine sugar, cold water, chai masala & bring to a simmer. In a separate pot, pour boiling water over tea and let steep for 3 minutes. Strain tea & combine with fruit juices. Add to spice mixture & simmer for 5-10 min. Serve hot or let cool and serve iced. Royal Bengal Tiger 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 2 dashes aromatic bitters, 1/2 teaspoon sugar (or 1 teaspoon sugar syrup), 11/2 ounces cognac, 4 ounces cold, strong tea. Mix lemon juice, sugar and aromatic bitters in the bottom of a tall (12 ounce) glass. Fill glass with ice cubes and pour in tea. Stir. Garnish with lemon slice and sprig of mint. Spiced Apple Cider Makes 32 drinks. 1 gallon fresh cider, 1 teaspoon chai masala. Combine ingredients & simmer for 30 minutes. Serve hot and use cinnamon sticks as stirrers. amberhawk6969 [triplegoddess] Friday, April 11, 2003 9:46 PM Tea Recipes? Greetings everybody!
