Dehydrated Chai Macadamias Submitted by Claire Walters - Raw Blend

Method

1. Soak your macadamia nuts for no longer than 2 hours.
2. Mix together your fine coconut sugar, garam masala, optional cayenne pepper, cinnamon powder, vanilla paste and Himalayan sea salt to create your chai powder.
3. Drain your macadamia nuts and remove any excess water.
4. Sprinkle the chai powder over the macadamia nuts and make sure to coat them well. The fact that they are wet makes it easier for the powder to stick to.
5. Divide the macadamia nuts into two even lots and place them on your trays and put inside the dehydrator.
6. Dehydrate the macadamia nuts at 65 degrees for 1 hour and then reduce the temperature to 43 degrees and continue drying for about 16 (+/-) hours. The longer they stay in there, the crunchier they will be.
7. To store allow the macadamia nuts to cool before storing in air tight containers to avoid moisture from forming resulting in mould. Will keep for about a week.
