This Saffron – Rose Chai Tea Recipe is my perfect recipe to start your Valentine’s Day.

First of all, who wouldn’t love to wake up to a tea like this and if you plan to surprise that someone in bed with this one, it’s surely going to make your day!

It’s a mildly fragrant and soothing tea with just the right notes/mix of spices that absolutely refreshes you in every sip.

Growing up in India, I’ve seen that ‘Tea’ is one such magical word which brings a smile to everyone’s face and people are ready to drink it anytime of the day.

Now, this particular version of tea with spices is most commonly known as ‘Masala Chai’ in India.

Now once your masala tea/tea-mix is ready, you can add a number of flavors to it and that’s exactly what I do.

My ‘Chai Tea Mix’ or ‘Masala Chai’ ingredient remains the same and I just keep adding or removing different flavors/spices.

Since I looooove this mild-fragrant tea, I’ve made a huge batch of this Saffron – Rose Chai Tea mix and kept in an air-tight jar in my kitchen cabinet.

The tea mix is absolutely customizable, if you don’t like a particular spice, you can definitely remove it from the list or add a little bit more of a particular spice you like.

Sometimes, I even add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon on top too.

I highly recommend you try this Saffron – Rose Chai Tea Recipe as most of the people that I’ve made this for, absolutely fell in love with the spiced-sweet flavors of the tea.

The tea is definitely delicious but at the same time it’s absolutely healthy and kind of detoxifying.

All the mix of spices helps heal the body and calm the nerves.  So you can definitely have that extra cup when tired.

Orange Brown Sugar Sweet Tea

By
#1: Grab the vegetable peeler and an orange and let’s get started.  Hold the orange firmly in one hand and, with the other hand, cut away the orange peel (the very outer, orange skin of the orange).  If you get a little of the white peel, the pith (remind anyone of Ethel Thayer?) it isn’t a big deal. #2: “Muddling”.  All it means, in this instance, is to mash an orange slice into the tea.  Right before serving the tea, place one half of an orange slice in the bottom of each glass and muddle, or mash, the orange to release the juice and oils.  Since I don’t own a muddler, I use the rounded end of my wooden spoon.  Muddle with slight force; just a couple of pushes and twists should be enough. Orange Brown Sugar Sweet Tea A delicious blend of sweet tea and fresh oranges.

EARL GREY TEA LATTE

By
 pic courtesy - COOK NOURISH BLISS INGREDIENTS: 1 earl grey tea bag ¾ cup boiling water ¾ cup milk ½ to 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup, depending on desired sweetness* sprinkle of cinnamon DIRECTIONS: Add the tea bag to a mug and pour in the boiling water. Let steep for about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the tea bag. Meanwhile, add the milk to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Heat until just steaming (do not let the milk boil). Alternatively, you can heat the milk in the microwave. Add the milk to the mug and stir in the vanilla syrup. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and enjoy. If desired, you can whisk the steamed milk until very frothy before pouring it into the mug (or use a milk frother). I just prefer these lattes without the foam. *If you do not have vanilla syrup, you can substitute a teaspoon or so of regular granulated sugar and a splash of vanilla extract. Adjust the quantities to your own taste. Source - Cook Nourish Bliss ...

Cinnamon Rose Tea + Honey & Milk

By
Herbal teas are a penchant of mine and this winter I’ve been drinking a lot of this Cinnamon Rose tea, always with a splash of coconut milk and honey! It’s comforting and warming and I especially like a cup at night after the kids have gone to bed. I’ve used ground cinnamon in this recipe as it is easier to use for single servings, but go ahead and use cinnamon sticks, if you like. Especially if you are brewing up a large batch. If you do use the ground cinnamon, you may find it beneficial to strain the tea through a nut milk bag or cloth before drinking to keep the finer granules out. CINNAMON ROSE TEA + HONEY & MILK Serves: one 8 ounce serving INGREDIENTS ¼ teaspoon(heaping) Ground Cinnamon 1 Cardamom Pod, crushe ⅛ teaspoon Vanilla Bean Powder ½ teaspoon Dried Rose Petals, crushed ¼ teaspoon Dried Chamomile Flowers 8 ounces water, heated to steaming 1 teaspoon Raw Honey 2 tablespoons desired Milk(I like a mix of Coconut & Almond) ...
