Canadian Ingredient: Cacao nibs and shells (Toronto, Ontario)

We’ve teamed up with our pals at local chocolate maker Chocosol to blend this freshly ground spicy chai with roasted cacao shells. This chai steeps to a light colour, and features a prominent cacao flavour.

Quick Chai: Measure 1 tsp of loose tea and add to a tea filter or strainer (or use one tea bag). Steep in 8-12 oz freshly boiled water for 5 minutes. Add a splash of milk and sweeten if desired.

Traditional Method:  Add  two tea bags to a pot with 5oz water, and 5oz milk. Heat and stir and bring to a bare simmer. Reduce heat (the liquid should stay hot, but never boil) and let steep for 15 - 30 minutes. Remove bags, or strain loose tea using a fine mesh strainer into a mug. This longer steeping method produces a spicier and 'fuller' final product. Sweeten if desired.

Iced Chai Recipe: Steep 2 tsp (or two tea bags) of this tea in 6oz freshly boiled water for 5 minutes. Sweeten if desired. At this point you can chill the tea in the freezer for 10 minutes (remove tea leaves or tea bags first) or pour into a glass over ice slowly. (The ice will partially dissolve) Add chilled milk of your choice and enjoy! Delicious served with a cinnamon sugar rim.
