Ingredients

  •  chai tea-bag 
  •  bananas firm ripe
  •  cardamom pods 
  •  cinnamon sticks 
  • inch ginger fresh peeled
  • 0.8 cup honey 
  •  peppercorns 
  •  star anise 
  • 0.5 cup water 

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • sieve
  • grill
  • grill pan

Directions

  1. For the syrup: In a small saucepan, boil 1/2 cup water. Turn off heat, add tea-bag and brew tea, leaving bag in the water until cool and tea is very dark.
  2. Remove tea-bag, squeezing out excess tea.
  3. Add honey and all of the spices. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 to 7 minutes, or until liquid has slightly reduced and you are left with 1 cup of liquid.
  4. Remove from heat and cool for half an hour. Using a fine-meshed sieve or tea brewer, strain out whole spices. Syrup should be thinner than honey, but still have body.
  5. For the bananas: Preheat grill or grill pan sprayed with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Slice bananas in half lengthwise. Grill fruit until slightly softened and light grill marks form, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  6. Place 2 banana halves on a dessert plate and drizzle with 2 tablespoons syrup.
