Karak (Chai) Syrup

Jump To Recipe
I love the flavor of karak….also referred to as Chai. The flavors are so warming and sweet….you can’t help but feel happy inside!
Traditionally the flavor combination of karak was used with hot milk and tea. But the same way pumpkin pie spice is no longer for pumpkin pies…and salted caramel is no longer for candy…the same goes for karak! From cakes, to smoothies, to ice cream…the combination of those sweet aromatic spices works in so many ways.
So having this syrup on hand will make it easier to create the karak flavor in so many different ways….whether it’s to flavor your morning cup of coffee with steamed almond milk….or your post-workout smoothie…you get to enjoy it whenever the craving the hits!
I used Roiboos tea just to have a caffeine-free option, and anyone who knows me will know I’m a huge roiboos fan. However, you can also use black tea in the place of roiboos for a more traditional karak flavor, or with coffee! Or leave it out and use the syrup whichever way you choose.
Enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Karak (Chai) Syrup

Print
Cook Time: 20min
|prep Time: 5min
| total Time: 25min
| servings: 6

Ingredients: 
  • 1 3/4 cup (420ml)  water
  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 3 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped
  • 5 cardamom pods
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 6 cloves
  • Ready-prepared roiboos tea, black tea or black coffee

Instructions: 
  1. In a medium saucepan mix all the syrup ingredients except for the tea. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and then reduce the heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. We want the liquid to reduce by about 30% so that you are left with about 1 cup of syrup.
  2. Remove from the heat and then strain and you have your syrup ready to use.
  3. Store any leftovers in a jar in the fridge. To use in hot drinks warm up the syrup first. For a latte, I would add about a third of syrup with a third of hot milk and a third tea or coffee. Adjust to your preference.

      السلام عليكم

      للحليب الساخن يفضل استخدام حليب الصويا او الشوفان

      ممكن اللوز لكن يفضل ان لا يسخن لمرحلة الغليان
