Vanilla Matcha Chai Latte (Dairy Free) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups water
1 cup blanched almond
4 cardamom pods
1/4 teaspoon peppercorn
1/2 cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
1/4 inch fresh ginger, peeled slice
1/3 teaspoon fennel seed
2 teaspoons green tea powder (Must be matcha but F. didn't recognise, I use Matcha Superior from Teaopia)
1 1/2 teaspoons alcohol free vanilla (I buy ours from the health food shop)
1/8 cup local raw honey, to taste

Preparation

Blend water and almonds until very smooth.
Strain through a fine sieve.
Bring almond milk and spices to a boil.
Boil for 5 minutes with the lid off, then simmer for 10 minutes covered.
Strain into a blender (I use glass). Let the mixture cool down for a few minutes, then add the matcha powder & vanilla and blend. Add raw honey to taste. I probably use more than an 1/8 cup but do it to taste.
Enjoy hot or cold. (I prefer it hot though).
