Several months ago, I learned how to make chai concentrate so I could enjoy delicious lattes at home. The scent of the ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom throughout my apartment was absolutely heavenly, and I've made the chai concentrate several times since then.
However, I wasn't quite sure what other recipes could use the cardamom pods, the signature spice in chai. Desserts? Curries? Drinks? As someone who enjoys the sweeter things in life, I decided to start with breakfast and dessert recipes that use these delicious chai spices.
Here are a few breakfast dishes to enjoy at your next brunch, to impress your coworkers at the office, and even to replenish you after your morning workout!
