We experimented with the mix recipe, then Megan made her “famous” iced chai. This is good hot, but it is very good iced.
Powdered Chai Mix (with Hot or Iced Chai Options)
Pistachio, Cranberry, White Chocolate Biscotti
Andrea decided we needed some biscotti for our tea. Instead of using plain white chocolate, she caramelized some. She found many different recipes for caramelizing white chocolate online. It made the biscotti extra good, but the cookie was a little sweeter than we liked. Next time we make this, we plan to reduce the sugar some.
Samosas
This was a favorite treat at all church potlucks! While this is very close to what I remember from Swaziland, I would love to be able to compare it and see how close we really are.
If you do not like spice, cut the spices in half for your first batch. These are not hot, but they are spicy.
Beef Samosas
I don’t remember having these until we lived in Swaziland. We often had them at church potlucks and, while similar, each family had a slightly different recipe. I preferred the ones with peas, but some used raisins instead.
This recipe is a very mild blend of spices. We often double, or triple the spices depending on who is making the. Fill the wontons with a generous helping of stuffing, but be careful not to overstuff.
For an appetizer, plan on two per person. For a main meal with a salad, plan on 4 or 5 per person.
