The spicy heat of cinnamon, ginger and pepper meets sweet notes of cardamom, star anise and cloves along with fragrant coriander to give you the makings of a splendid cup of chai. Using a ratio of a cup of water to 1 tablespoon chai mix, simply simmer the water and spices for 10 minutes, add a teaspoon of Indian black tea or Rooibos and 1/3 cup whole milk and simmer, allowing it to foam and fall three times. Strain and sweeten.
Ingredients: Saigon cinnamon, ginger, coriander, green cardamom, star anise, Tellicherry black peppercorns and cloves. (Salt-free)
Oaktown Spice Shop has been in the Adams Point neighborhood for nine years. They focus on sourcing the absolute best-tasting version of each individual spice, then grind the spices themselves, in their shop. This means the ground spices customers find at Oaktown are bursting with flavor and are far fresher than those found elsewhere.
You can visit their own site here or find more of their spices on Keep Oakland Alive.
