Apparently, I’m just really into cardamom because I have another recipe for you that uses it this week! This is the perfect fall treat to have in your fridge and it keeps up to two weeks!

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 Cups of water (+1 see note below)

  • ¼ Cup Whole Green Cardamom

  • 1 ½ Tsp Vanilla

  • 6 Tbsp Ground Black Pepper

  • 6 Whole Star Anise

  • 4 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon

  • 3 Sticks of Cinnamon (3”)

  • 3 Tbsp Ground Ginger

  • 1 tsp Molasses

  • 6 Cloves

  • 6 Tbsp Loose Leaf Black Tea

  • 6 oz of fresh ginger-sliced

  • 2 drops of Cardamom Vitality

  • Orange Vitality

CONCENTRATE INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Put 12 Cups of water in a large pot.

  2. Add in all the spices & ginger (except the essential oils) then put on medium heat to bring to a simmer.

  3. Once the water comes to a boil, use an immersion blender to crush up all the spices (this step is totally optional if you don't have one!)

  4. Bring to boil again and let boil for 5 minutes

  5. Add in your Black Tea, turn off the heat, and cover with lid.

  6. Let sit overnight or until cool.

  7. Use a cheese cloth or Muslin and strain out all the tea and spices. Squeeze all that liquid out the best you can.

  8. Pour into 2 half gallon mason jars and add 1 drop of Cardamom Vitality Essential oil per jar and refrigerate!

CHAI INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Pour ⅔ – ¾ Almond Milk in a glass or mason jar.

  2. Add ¼-⅓ Chai Concentrate

  3. Add 1 to 2 drops Young Living Orange Vitality Essential oil. You can also shave a strip off of an organic orange peel.

  4. Maple Syrup to taste

Doesn't this sound delicious! This version is iced but I'm sure you could make it hot too!
