Chai Coconut Orange Sauce

  • Prep time 5 mins
  • Cook time 10 mins

This is a wonderfully rich and tasty sauce. It works nicely with chicken and seafood especially. Pour overtop a roast chicken breast, halibut, salmon or even use it as the cooking liquid for clams or mussels!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add the coconut milk, orange juice, cinnamon, cloves and ginger to a small pot and place on medium-high heat.  Reduce the volume by about 50%.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat and then add the tea bags.  Steep for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the tea bags one by one and squeeze each bag in between two spoons.  This will extract all of the chai flavour.
  4. Now remove the cinnamon and the cloves, add a pinch of salt and give a good stir.  Your sauce is now ready!  Serve and enjoy.

Variations

  • Cream will work in place of the coconut milk.
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper would be welcome in this sauce if you like a touch of spice.

    Ok, I made this and it was easy and delicious! Naturally sweet and the flavors are wonderful. I was looking for something to pull together some leftover rice and a ripe mango to make a side dish. I substituted the heavy cream for the coconut cream, and next time (there will be a next time!) I might add the tea bags to the end of the reduction time to get a little more out of them -- but that's just me being fussy. I can see this over fish or chicken, and also over pound cake with fresh fruit. Thanks for the recipe!
