  1. Very pleasant taste, not overly spiced as some chai blends can be. I used unsweetened condensed milk because I don't like sweet tea; and it was great! I inceased the cinnamon (I love cinnamon) and decreased the cloves somewhat. Nice recipe Evelyn.
     
  2. I am so happy to find your recipe! This was my favorite flavor of liquid coffee creamer and now I can only find the powdered version. (Darn CoffeeMate – get me addicted then quit making it. ;-) ) The level of spices is just right to my taste however they did not all dissolve completely – especially the nutmeg. Perhaps I needed to grate it finer. I made a reasonable facsimile of fat-free and sugar-free condensed milk using a tweaked version of recipe #104863 and while it is thinner, it is practically sin free. Doing the happy dance here … ;-)
     
  3. It's now 12:40 am and I'm having a bout of insomnia. I had tagged this for the 1-2-3 game and it seemed perfect for this occasion. I was right, it's wonderful. I have had the mix (with unsweetened non fat evap milk) for a couple of days. I used vanilla Rooibos as the tea base (don't need any caffeine now!) and it's simply delicious as well as comforting with a slightly over-poured 1 tsp of mix in a mug of tea. Think I'll head back up to bed now. Thanks ev.
     
  4. Yumm, this is great. It is a concentrate so you have to remember not to add too much, which I did with my first cup and it was a bit overpowering. After I fugured it out and followed your instructions, it tasted really good. I used fat free sweetened condensed milk and have been drinking it in my coffee. Thanks for posting this recipe, would make it again.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
