This is something I came up with more for lighter MAOI effects and for general health benefits of drinking Rue.
I had been enjoying drinking rue in combination with my other herbal teas but I did notice that the taste was in stark contrast to the herbs I was using. So I embarked on a journey to create a recipe for Syrian Rue Chai and make the whole endeavor straight up pleasurable. Without further ado, here is the recipe:
Syrian Rue Chai
Makes 6 cups
Ingredients
-6 cardamom pods
-10 whole cloves
-1 teaspoon anise seeds
-2 teaspoons black peppercorns
-2 teaspoons cinnamon or 2 sticks of cinnamon
-6 cups water
-3-6 teaspoons ground Syrian rue (depending on how strong you want. Start with 3.)
-1/2 cup sugar
-2 cups of unsweetened plant milk
Instructions
Combine spices and herbs in medium saucepan. Using mallet or back of large spoon, lightly crush or bruise spices. Add 6 cups water; bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover pan, and simmer gently 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Bring tea just to simmer over high heat, whisking until sugar dissolves. Take off heat and add milk. Strain chai into teapot and serve hot.
It can also be stored for later quite easily.
Cheers!
