Chai Simple Syrup Recipe:


Ingredients:
12 green cardamom pods
1 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds (optional)
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves?
1 cinnamon stick?
3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350° F / 175° C.
Lightly crush the cardamom and black pepper.
Place all the spices except the ginger and vanilla on a cookie sheet or in a baking pan, and toast until very aromatic (about five minutes).
Place the spices, ginger, vanilla, sugar and water into a small pot on medium heat.
Bring to a boil then simmer gently for five to ten minutes, stirring often. The longer you simmer the mixture, the stronger the spice flavors will become, but be careful not to make the syrup too thick or it will be difficult to use and may crystallize when cool.
Strain the syrup through a fine meshed sieve and pour into a very clean jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Keep refrigerated. Has a shelf life of about six months. To extend the shelf life, mix in about one ounce of vodka as the syrup cools.

Sun Brewed Coffee With Mint Recipe:


Ingredients:
4 teaspoons ground coffee
2 to 3 bruised fresh mint leaves, or 1/4 teaspoon dried mint
1 quart pure, cold water

Preparation:
Take a large, glass jar with a screw-on lid. It must be glass. Wash both the jar and lid to make sure it is absolutely clean. Any residue will taint the coffee. This is a delicate brew, and is easily ruined.

Place the coffee in the center of a paper coffee filter. (For a quart jar, a small filter is fine.) If you want, you can add 2 or 3 bruised fresh mint leaves, or 1/4 teaspoon dried. (Mint is strong; you do not want to overpower this drink. I usually use dried mint for brewing.) Tip: I find cheesecloth not fine enough for ground coffee; the paper filters work best.

Tie up the filter into a bundle with string, a baggie tie or a rubber band (I personally don’t like to use rubber bands), and put in the top of the jar filled with cold, pure water. Place in the direct sun for 1-2 hours. A quart should be done in as little as 1 hour in the middle of the day.
