I just realized that Supreme Spice comes up in top position on Bing search engine for search word "Saffron extract" :) . Same is the case with "Tea masala extract" and "Tulsi extract".
While I was on a long break from blogging, some very creative food bloggers posted recipes using our Supreme Spice extracts. One of my favorite ones was posted by Madhuram of Eggless Cooking. Madhuram is very creative with her recipes and comes up with some delicious ones using various substitutes for egg.
Check out her Vegan Christmas Fruitcake recipe in which she used Tea Masala extract to give it a spicy twist.
Stefani of Cup Cake Project has posted a amazing recipe on Indian cupcake with Tea Masala extract.
Excellent blog with very yummy cupcake recipes.
She also wrote a post on Slashfood.com about Supreme Spice.

I am one of those lazy bakers who bakes her breads from store bought bread mix :)
But I do give my breads some personality by adding nuts and raisins to it.
My kids love Banana bread and I very often buy this Banana bread mix from Trader Joe's.
I add some raisins or cranberries, some nuts to this mix. Then I add 4-5 drops of Cardamom extract ( Tea Masala extract works well too).
Bake according to the instructions given on the package. In about 1 hr you have a really yummy banana bread.
Serve it with a cup of hot tea.
Nupur of OneHotStove posted a amazing recipe for Truffles. Interestingly, she used Tea Masala extract in it. Isn't that creative?
Here is her recipe for Tea Tinged Truffles with Tea Masala Extract.
Enjoy!
Have you seen those instant Tea Masala bags in the stores? Its tea extract, milk powder, Sugar and spices, all in one bag. Just add hot water.
Well, I bought one box last week to compare them against our own Tea Masala Extract. And here are some comparisons :
1) I just had to add hot water to the instant Tea Masala bag.
To use our Tea Masala extract, you need to make tea first. Our extract is the blend of spices that can be added to your regular tea to give it a spicy makeover :)
2) The tea was light for my taste. And it was a bit sweet.
This is where our Tea Masala extract comes out a winner. You make your tea the way you like it (strong, light, black, with milk, with/without sugar) and just add our extract to it.
3) I had that powdery taste in the last few sips.
Since our extract is in liquid form, it mixes fully with the tea and hence no powdery taste.
4) Price of 10 Instant Masala Tea - $3.99 ( for 10 cups of tea - $3.99)
Price of 1 Tea Masala Extract - $5.99 ( 1 bottle has around 150 drops.
So, more than 60 cups of tea can get a spicy makeover with just 1 bottle of our extract !)
5) 4 Spices in the instant Tea masala bag -Ginger, Black Pepper, Cardamom and Clove.
6 Spices in Tea Masala Extract - Ginger, Peppercorn, Cardamom, Clove, Cinnamon and Nutmeg.
Have you ever tried using Tea Masala Extract in a cake recipe ??!!
This blogger found a excellent and very creative use of Tea Masala extract in Carrot Cake.
Try it and give your regular cake recipe a spicy makeover.
This last Saturday, I woke up with a scratchy throat and knew that I was about to get cold & cough. I was feeling a bit feverish too.
And I took this opportunity to run my experiment with spice extracts :)
I started my experiment with a hot cup of tea with 2 drops of Tea Masala extract.
Then, after about 2 hrs, I had a cup of hot water to which I added 2 drops of Tulsi extract.
Again had a cup of hot tea with 2 drops of Tea Masala extract.
By afternoon, my body ache and tiredness had reduced.
I had another cup of hot Tulsi water in the evening and ended my day with a Masala chai.
So, in all, I had 3 cups of Masala chai and 3 cups of Tulsi water that day.
Sunday morning - I was feeling great, did not feel tired or feverish.
But just to make sure, I had 2 cups of hot Tulsi water on Sunday. One in the morning and one in the evening.
My experiment was a success. The Tulsi and the 6 spices in the Tea Masala extract worked pretty well.
One of my all time favorite books is "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck. I must have read it 3-4 times till now. What I like about this book is that it is very easy to read, with no big words or complicated plots BUT after you are done with the book, you think about the characters for a long time. They make you think about your own life, your own struggles and achievements.
In Oprah's words - This book is easy reading that brings expansive thinking.
I think I will read this book again this weekend - with a cup of Ginger tea.
For a Tea lover like me, there is nothing in this world like a hot cup of delicious masala chai. Just one cup of this amazing chai is enough to perk up your spirits.
Masala chai has typically 6 spices added to it - Cardamom, Clove, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cinnamon and peppercorn. Every spice contributes its own distinctive flavor, fragrance and medicinal properties.Masala chai is amazingly fragrant with all these spices added to it.
Unfortunately we all are too busy to grind fresh spices to make masala chai. Supreme Spice Tea Masala extract makes it easy to give your regular chai a spicy makeover - anywhere and anytime.
Just make chai the way you like (some like it strong , some like it light ) and then just add 1-2 drops of Supreme Spice Tea Masala extract directly to your cup of tea and enjoy.
Take the extract with you to work and you can sip a aromatic cup of authentic masala chai right in your office.
Don't feel like having masala chai ? Try Supreme Spice Cardamom extract for a yummy Cardamom tea or add a drop of Supreme Spice Ginger extract and enjoy a very warming cup of Ginger tea.
Don't drink plain tea when you can customize it according to your mood.
Anytime, anywhere.
