Chai Tea Flavoured Syrup
- 4 tbsp. SILK ROAD CHAI tea or HERBAL CHAI tea
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar (white, brown, raw) OR 2 cups honey, maple syrup or agave nectar
Steep tea in boiling water: 5 mins for SILK ROAD CHAI or 10 mins for HERBAL CHAI. Strain into a saucepan. Add sugar (honey, maple syrup or agave nectar) to saucepan & stir over medium heat until completely dissolved & the liquid is clear. Caution: do not overheat sugar or sweeteners, or leave them unattended as they can burn or bubble over.
Pour syrup into stainless steel or heatproof container to cool, then place in refrigerator, or a cold water/ice bath. Store in fridge. A batch will last about a week, which enables you to to make Chai Tea Soda Pop anytime!
