Chai

What's in it:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons raw sugar
Then the spice mixture, your choice of the following:
  • 1 whole cardamom pod
  • 1 whole clove
  • 2 black peppercorns
  • 1 piece of cracked ginger
  • Cinnamon or Cinnamon stick
  • vanilla bean
  • nutmeg
  • anise
*Hint: Don't start using all of them!

Then:
  • 3 teaspoons black tea leaves
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  1. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Add the cardamom pod, clove, peppercorns (or your choice) and tea leaves. Remove from heat, and let the mixture steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Strain into a cup, and fill cup the rest of the way with milk. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
So there you have it Angie, :), my Chai recipe is really a template for making your own. I found this template on some recipe site that I don't remember and modified it a little. Only the process is from that.
