Brazilian Hot Chocolate
I found this in “The Spice Cookbook” by Avanelle Day and Lillie Stuckey. Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005.
Chili Salsa
These are often used in Brazil as dips/sauces for many dishes. Serving size is a guess since it depends on taste preference and how much you want it.
Masala Tea (indian Spiced Tea)
This is wonderfully heady and comforting, and perfect with an Indian meal. I’ve made it as directed, but also have a coffeemaker I use just for tea, and most often make it in that. I’ll just put the spices in a coffee filter with the tea, then throw a cardamom pod in each cup when I serve it. It’s great cold too (but I prefer it hot, with a little sugar)
Easy Chai Masala
A cheap homemade mixture for a fast and delicious spiced black tea. I got this spice mix recipe in Jodhpur (India). I use this mix in my office, where we get hot water, but we don’t have the possibility to cook. At home I prefere to boil (5 minutes!) the tea in an mix of water and fresh milk with these spices added. The qualitiy of the ingredients and the spices is relevant!
Indian Masala Chai
There are many versions of this tea. This is a good one from Food & Wine magazine. This would also make lovely gifts. Just package up the dry ingredients and write out the directions!
