I know chai syrup is hardly rare/unusual/peculiar, so you ask why is this recipe on this website? It may not be a unique but it took a lot of attempts to get the ingredient ratio to perfection.

Ingredients:

• 300g water
• 150g sugar
• Pinch saffron threads
• 1 tsn vanilla essences
• 2 tsn chai powder
• 1 star anise

Method:

1. Place the water, sugar, saffron, vanilla, chai powder and star anise into a medium sized saucepan.
2. Bring the saucepan to the boil on high, whisking to ensure ingredients are well combined.
3. Once boiled reduce the heat to a simmer.
4. Take off the heat and remove the star anise from the syrup.
5. Place the saucepan back on the stove on a high heat for 10 minutes or until reduced and syrupy in consistency.
6. Ideal to drizzle over vanilla ice-cream or over a plain cake to turn the bland to sensational!
