Authentic Chai Recipe
Makes 1 cupIngredients
- 4 - 5 cardamon pods
- 1/4 teaspoon of fennel seeds
- a few pinches of ground ginger (or a slice of whole ginger)
- 3 - 4 black peppercorns
- 1 or 2 sticks of cinnamon
- (One recipe I was given in India suggests adding cloves. Didn’t work for me but might for you. You could also add star anise or nutmeg.)
- 2 teaspoons of Darjeeling or Ceylon loose-leaf tea
- 3/4 cup of water + extra for evaporation
- 1/4 cup of milk
Heat your milk and water in a small pot on the stovetop.
Add the cardamon, fennel seeds, ginger, peppercorns and cinnamon. You might like to cover the pot to get it to boil faster — keep an eye on it though because it will boil over.
Once the mix begins to boil, add the tea. The longer you boil it the stronger it will be. About 5 minutes or slightly longer is ideal.
(It will also be stronger than regular tea no matter what you do because of the boiling process. I don’t advise you have this before bed!)
Let it sit off the heat for a couple of minutes, and then pour into a cup using a tea-strainer.
Enjoy!
my sister has a similar arabian recipe, it’s so delicious!
I made this with almond milk- so delicious!

A herd of cows run over to meet a six-month old boxer dog. They’re so curious and friendly! Cows are such beautiful, peaceful animals and this video makes me smile a bunch.
I can die happy now.
Oh my god. The sniffing noises they make are so fucking cute. I love cows beyond explanation. They really are such lovely animals.
Seriously the cutest encounter I’ve ever beheld.

Making some vegan peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies because I can.
This is the recipe I’m using, I’ll give feed back and post actual photos later.
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, spelt flour, or unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup natural peanut butter (either smooth or chunky)
2/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown sugar, optional
1/3 cup oil (I used canola)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup dark chocolate chipsDirections
Preheat oven to 350ºF and place rack in the top third of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or other bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, brown sugar (if using), oil, and vanilla. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the dry ingredients on top of the wet, and mix again just until the flour disappears. Stir in the chocolate chips. The dough should be crumbly but stiff. Let dough rest for five minutes, then give another stir or two.
Scoop dough by packed, rounded tablespoon onto baking sheet about an inch apart (they don’t spread while they bake). Using a fork, create a cross-hatch pattern on top of each scoop, while also pressing down to flatten the cookie. The dough will want to crack around the edges; use your fingers to gently press any cracks back together.
Bake in batches on the top rack of the oven about 12-14 minutes, until golden brown.
Makes about 30 cookies.

Chocolate Galaxy Banana Cheesecake
So very decadent-tasting, just like regular cheesecake. Unlike some other vegan cheesecake recipes, there’s no packaged cream cheese in these. The creaminess is from raw cashews, banana and silken tofu.get in my mouthhhh

Marzipan Ice-Cream
100% vegan
I LOVE Marzipan.
But I also LOVE ice cream.. so making a combination of the two felt like I had a light bulb go off.
I love the taste of marzipan, so I enjoyed it but I find marzipan to be more of a love it or hate it food.
It’s pretty simple.
1pint Coconut Creamer
1/4 cup Marzipan
6 tbs Diced Dates
2 tbs Amaretto (I used Whiskey)
1 tsp Almond Extract (optional)
1. In a skillet or saucepan, pour the COCONUT creamer and MARZIPAN until the marzipan melts down.
2. Add the alcohol of choice and the optional extract
3. Remove from the heat, add the DATES then remove from skillet/saucepan and place in a bowl.
4. Let it cool, then run through an ice cream machine for about 20 to 25minutes.
Enjoy!
*You might need to let this ice cream sit out for several minutes after freezing
must try
