Simmer ginger, cinnamon sticks, anise, peppercorns, cardamom, cloves, coriander, and orange peel in water for 30-45 minutes.
Pull pan away from heat source and add tea bags. Allow to steep for 15 minutes.
Remove tea bags and strain out spices.
Stir in honey, molasses, vanilla and lemon juice.
Pour into quart jar and add water if needed to fill jar.
Prepare!
Heat 1 cup of chai tea to boiling.
Remove from heat and rapidly whisk in 1 cup of whole milk.
Enjoy!
Notes
We use raw whole milk in our chai tea. The flavor is a bit fuller and much creamier. Whisking the milk into the hot mixture rather than heating the tea blend and milk together creates a frothy drink and also preserves some of the raw milk's digestive enzymes.
