by:
Serves: Makes 16 cups
Ingredients
  • 4 teaspoons each: ground ginger and cinnamon
  • 4 teaspoons fennel seeds, ground
  • 2 teaspoon each ground black pepper, cardamom, and coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ cup loose black tea such as Earl Grey
  • ¾ cup blue agave
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Stirring constantly, heat spices in a heavy bottomed medium saucepan over medium-low heat until fragrant and the first wisps of smoke start to rise, a couple of minutes. Add 4 cups of water and the tea, bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for flavors to blend, about 10 minutes. Strain out tea and spices. Stir in agave, molasses, vanilla and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Can be covered and refrigerated a couple of weeks.
Notes
To serve, blend ¼ cup of the concentrate to either ¾ cup hot or cold milk or water.
