CINNAMON!
Updated: May 31, 2020
The pleasure of the morning focuses on freshly baked biscuits and chai. And that means cinnamon.
My first trips to Pakistan were soon punctuated by tea time. There in the hot of the day, at every roadside stand and in every house, tea is served. Usually Pakistani tea is served in the English manner--with cream and sugar. But occasionally a hostess with unfurl her secret recipe for chai (the Urdu word simply means tea). And that usually involves cinnamon.
"If you're only using cinnamon prepackaged and preground, you are missing one of the great pleasures of life."
Soon we'll be unfurling our spice mixes for various South Asian teas, all freshly ground from organic spices. These will be available in our online store (send us an email at info@stargrovenc.com or visit our contact page to sign up) and our no-contact pickup at the MGM market in Old Fort, North Carolina on Thursdays. Send us a note for more information.
