Another 5 star tea made for Comfort Cafe, Jan '10. I used a cinnamon stick in place a pinch because a pinch would have never been enough for me. Thanks for posting these delights.

I love spicy tea blends and this one was really easy and soothing. People who like chai tea will certainly enjoy this one. Though not as complex as chai, it has that same flavor quality. I used barley malt instead of sugar - which added a bit more flavor beyond just sweetness. Thank!

I used Darjeeling my favorite tea to make this. It had a nice hint of spice. Very easy to make. I am adding this to my tea recipe collection. Thanks Minir.
