nothavanasChai concentrate, after Cedars Restaurant with some tips from <lj user="damianaswan">
27 c H2O (about as much as an 8-quart stockpot will comfortably hold)
9 bags decaf orange pekoe tea
9 bags decaf Market Spice tea
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
2.5 tablespoons whole cloves
2 generous teaspoons fennel seed
a smidgen of ginger
Place teabags in water. Place spices in two small fillable tea bags and place those in water. Bring to a boil and keep somewhere above a simmer but below a properly rolling boil for 20 minutes. This will reduce the volume somewhat. Add 3 cups sugar or sugar-equivalent sweetener. Turn off the heat, remove the teabags, and squeeze the liquid out with chompers. Transfer to pitchers and store in fridge. Mix about 1:1 or 1:2 with milk.
Makes 5 quarts, based on the measurements on the sides of the pitchers.
