Seven-Spice Chai

Submitted by sillycecelia

"My own recipe: a strong, spicy, sweet tea that is very good and warming, especially on winter mornings. I use dried ginger bought from my teashop, but 1 inch fresh sliced or about 1/4 tsp ground would work. It's best to use a strong tea that will stand up to the milk and spices; my favorite is Assam."

This is really good! I multiplied it by 8 which made a big pot & steeped it twice - 3rd tim ewas kind of lame so I don't recommend it. Delicious! Made for M3C 11/09. :)
