Hickory Smoked Herbal Chai Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Herbal Chai blend
4 cups water
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
Hickory wood chips
Cocktail smoker
Instructions:
Brew the Tea: Boil 4 cups of water and add 1 tablespoon of Herbal Chai blend. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes, allowing the spices and flavors to meld together.
Prepare for Smoking: While your tea is brewing, set up your cocktail smoker with hickory wood chips. Light the wood chips according to your smoker’s instructions until they start to produce a steady stream of smoke.
Smoke the Chai: Strain the brewed chai into a heatproof glass or container. Use the cocktail smoker to introduce the hickory smoke into the tea. Cover the container to trap the smoke and let it infuse for about 2 minutes. This will give your chai a rich, smoky depth that enhances the spicy notes.
Add Milk & Sweeten: Heat 1/2 cup of milk in a separate pan and stir in honey or sweetener if desired. Pour the warm milk into your smoked chai and stir well.
Serve: Pour the smoky chai into mugs and enjoy the complex, warming flavors.
Savor: Sip and let the smoky spices warm you from the inside out. Perfect for a cozy evening or a special fall gathering!
