Kami McBride, the best herbalist ever taught me to make this Chai Honey, and now I make it for all my friends. I became so excited about it that I could not help myself. I wanted everyone to try it. It is simple to make and there is really nothing like it. All you need is honey and the dry spices to mix in. I started out by cutting the recipe in half, but went through the jar so fast I made two cups the next time.
My favorite way to enjoy it is on Alvarado Street Bakery’s Sesame Bagels. OMG. Toast it so it is kind of crunchy, add a little Ghee and top with the honey. I also love to mix a tsp in my blended morning (or anytime) mushroom drink, or of course a cup of tea or coffee. Sometimes I eat a tsp of it all by itself.
Kami is launching a free video series for an upcoming course on herbal oils. I highly recommend you watch this series and discover the wonderful world of powerful antioxidant rich herbs and oils. Most of us use essential oils, and know how wonderfully pleasing and healing they are. Imagine making your own herbal oils for culinary use and massage oils. Here is the link to the first one on how to make Lavender Oil which starts tomorrow (March 24)
For you Chai lovers here is the link for the Chai Honey Recipe. Kami’s book, “The Herbal Kitchen” is a great resource as well.
Let me know how you like it!
Making Every Bite Count,
