Troy McNaughtonChai Extras: Pepper!
May 29th 2006 19:05
Only Peter picked a pickled pepper - don't even think about it oh my padowan spice connoisseurs!
Don't forget to read chai basics, how to chai like a pro.
BUY IT:
Erm, EVERYWHERE. Although… some people recommend you use white pepper corns. Call them racist but they’re hard to find (try Indian markets – check out my spice shops list) so they must be good. White pepper is the seed without the fruit (that turns black) and it takes all this extra effort to get them so white. Michael Jackson would be proud. Additionally, there is some debate over whether the black fruit part of the peppercorn is that good for you.
IN CHAI:
2-3 corns initially and 1 extra corn for every additional cup. Just chuck em right in there. Chai is meant to be spicy, but don’t let the pepper drown the other flavours out.
STORE IT:
Air tight container in a dark cool place. You know the drill people. Don’t grind it ahead of time – its taste/smell quickly evaporates into the unfeeling ether.
BUT WHY?
Yes yes of COURSE it is good for your stomach (allegedly), your intestines (allegedly), it’s antibacterial (allegedly) and diaphoretic (allegedly – by the way this means it makes you sweat, which isn’t altogether a medically bad thing apparently… allegedly).
SILLY FACT:
Nobody has ever bothered to do any serious research on whether pepper really makes you sneeze (see any Disney cartoon, or even better, a sneeze fetish site’s discussion of how unfair it is that there is only one female Disney sneeze). Ohhhh here’s something even better – a list of adult sneeze fetish sites. Well they do say it’s like 1/3 of an orgasm…
