Merino Chai - Loose Leaf Chai

As a knitter, my goal is to give all my loose leaf blends knitting and yarn inspired names. They dont all have one yet, and if you have ideas I am open to suggestions on my guestbook (that I have yet to add) This recipe is VERY similer to my Chai concentrate.

  • 20 Whole Black Peppercorns
  • 20 whole cloves
  • 4 Star Anise
  • 8 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 1 Nutmeg
  • 60 Grams Minced Dried Ginger
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Powder

Crush all ingrediance from Cardamon through Nutmeg (in a morter)
