Description
A quick concentrate to keep in your frig. I add it to coffee, to coffee with half a package of instant cocoa mix for mocha, or to tea for Chai. I gave it to friends for Christmas this year to rave reviews. This is adapted from a recipe found in The Oregonian.
Ingredients
- 1 can Sweetened, Condensed Milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cloves
Preparation
Just put all ingredients in a bowl or cup – I use a measuring cup for ease in pouring into the jar in which I store in refrigerator. Cover and refrigerate. I imagine it will keep for some time. Unfortunately, I’ve never had it last longer than a week or so to find out!
For mocha: To a cup of coffee, add half a package of instant hot cocoa mix, and a heaping spoon of the concentrate or to taste.
For Chai: add two teaspoons of Chai concentrate to steeped tea of your choice.
For Chai cocoa – Make cup of hot chocolate and add a spoonful of concentrate.
Be adventuresome! (The original recipe in The Oregonian didn’t mention the mocha or cocoa possibilities.) I suspect this would be delicious in eggnog! …and even if you chose to add some rum.
