Chai Tea

One of our nightly beverages has been Chai Tea. Well you don't just find Chai tea bags in the store here, so I asked how to make it.  We could have purchased all the spices and made our own blend, but I was informed that you could find Tea Masala spice blends in the store. I've now found a few, you need to look in the spice section not near the teas.  This is the one we are currently using. 



To make: you boil your tea bags (any black tea) for 3 or 4 minutes with a teaspoon or so of the spice blend (for two cups). We've been playing with the amount and I think this will vary depending on the brand we buy.  Once that is done, remove the tea bags, add about a half a cup of milk (again play with this based on your taste) and some sugar if that suits you.  Simmer for 2 minutes or so and enjoy!
