As part of my ongoing project to develop a nice spicy masala chai recipe, I’m happy to present you with today’s recipe for how NOT to make it.

1 Thumb of Cinnamon
12 Pods of Green Cardamom
8 Whole Peppercorns
5 Whole Cloves
2 Whole Allspice
1/4 tsp Crushed Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp Ground Cayenne Pepper

Roughly grind cinnamon through nutmeg, combine with ginger and cayenne, and add to 2 & 1/2 cups of boiling water. Reduce heat to simmer and cover for ten minutes. Add 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp butter, and 1 & 1/2 chunks of jagri (or same amount of brown sugar), and simmer for 5 minutes. Add 2 &1/2 tsp of assam or any black tea. Remove from heat and let steep for 3 minutes.

Drink, and feel the burn.
Much much too spicy.

2010|365: A Design Project
In an effort to keep from getting creatively stagnant as I go through the course of a 9-5 design job, as well as staving off general laziness, I’ve undertaken this personal project.
Every day, rain, shine or somewhere inbetween, I will be making something cool. The results may be photos, design pieces, experimental type, videos, or anything else I feel is worth showing. The only caveat will be that each piece will have to be made that day, even though it might not get posted on the same day.
The end result of the project will be a book (possibly 365 pages long, maybe shorter to reduce costs), which I will make available to anyone who wants to pay for one.

You can track the project at the 2010|365 website or check out everything else I get up here.
