Chai Sugar
Holiday 2004
This rich spice combination is a marvelous addition to winter fruit desserts, even classic apple pie. You could also make this sugar using 4 chai tea bags instead of spices.
Makes 3 cups (750 mL)
3 cups (750 mL) sugar
12 whole green cardamom pods
6 whole star anise
6 black peppercorns
6 whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks or instead of spices, 4 chai tea bags (not the sweetened mix)
1. Partly fill a 3-cup (750-mL) jar with sugar. Press half the spices into sugar (or if using chai tea bags, follow the method for Jasmine Sugar). Press half the spices into sugar. Top with remaining sugar and spices. Cover and shake gently to distribute. Let sugar infuse for at least 3 weeks. Sift out spices to use.
