directions

  • In a large cooking pot (at least twice the size needed to contain your soya milk), mix everything together and heat on high while stirring constantly.
  • Bring to a boil (remember to stir constantly!), and the concoction will froth up.
  • Remove from heat, let the froth subside, and repeat this cycle three more times.
  • This is why your pot has to be bigger: the frothing would cause a major spill if you used a smaller pot.
  • Serve and drink while hot.

  1. WOW! Simply delicious! I made a mug of this for myself this morning using 1 cup of low-fat milk(I dont like the taste of soya milk, so I substituted with low-fat milk), 2 green cardamoms, 2 cloves, 1 tsp. sugar, 1/2 inch cinnamon stick and about 1/4 inch piece of ginger. This was really full of flavour! Thanks for a great recipe, Donna! This will be oh so wonderful on cool winter nights around a campfire:) I would call this "Masala or Spiced Milk Drink" than a "Chai drink" because Chai would mean tea leaves should be there in the drink, but this drink did not use that.. Just a thought I thought I should share...

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving. I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start. Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog! Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years! I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
