With Autumn only about the corner my thoughts movement to the deep rich flavors of cinnamon, vanilla, anise as well as cloves.  I adore a adept loving cup of Chai Tea lightly sweetened, alongside a generous amount of milk; as well as the scent lone is worth making a steaming loving cup – hummmmm.  Since it’s going to live inwards the 90’s today alongside highs inwards the 70’s afterwards this week, why non blend summertime as well as tumble into a real wonderful Chai Gelato?

Working alongside fresh whole spices tin brand a adept recipe into a corking dessert.  Vanilla bean, cardamom pods, star anise, cloves, peppercorns as well as fresh ginger – a combination that is practically irresistible!

Add the spices, fresh sliced ginger as well as dark tea bags to whole milk.  Heat the mixture as well as then steep for xxx minutes to extract all those flavors!

I served the Chai Gelato with Pizzelles, an Italian wafer cookie equally good flavored alongside anise.  A perfect combination!
