Simple Chai Syrup

The easiest cup of chai I've ever made. There's two versions; vanilla bean, and turmeric. Feel free to play around with the recipes' spices to make your own blend.

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl mix together sweetened condensed milk, spices, salt and vanilla until combined. Transfer syrup to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in the fridge for up to six months.

2. To serve, stir a spoonful or two of syrup into a cup of hot black tea, coffee, or hot milk (hat tip, Christine).

Enjoy!
