Well worth trying to shatter the tap first, but if that doesn't work, one of these may well allow you to wind the broken tap out. you push the sliding 'fingers' into the tap's flutes. I've bought them from these people, but there will be other suppliers.

I have seen broken taps drilled out with a straight flute carbide drill, needs a very rigid setup and is only doable in a milling machine or a substantial pillar drill with the crankcase bolted or clamped to the table.
