Home made Chai Tea Bliss!!

My hubby loves Chai Tea.  if he has to have it bagged he prefers Twinings, but....I made it for him from scratch once and he asks for this whenever I have more time as he says it tastes so much better!

so for Chai lovers here you go:


For a mug size cup:

1 1/2 cups water
8 whole cloves
8 green cardamom pods
1  1inch piece of cinnamon
2-3 tea bags of black tea or green tea

milk and sugar to taste

Simmer spices in water on the stovetop in a pot with a tight fitting lid, watch out not to boil off the water!  Add tea bags and simmer until darkness is to your liking.  Add sugar then milk, strain and serve.

My larger pot version of extra spice chai

3 cups water
15  whole cloves
15 green cardamom pods
1  3 inch piece of cinnamon
3-4 tea bags black or green

Milk and Sugar to taste.

Same method as above.
