This is a wonderful Chai tea, Sharon123. I really enjoyed it. It's great even without the honey and cream (I used cream instead of half N half), but they--especially the honey--finish it off nicely to produce a great cup of chai tea. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Ahhhh.....this feels so good on a cold winter day when my body is full of aches. Plus, thanks to morgainegeiser, I have decaf Assam so I don't have to worry about sleeping tonight. The only change i made was using crystallized ginger because I am (gasp) out of fresh. I added about 1c 1/2 & 1/2. This is sooo gooood! Next time i need to double the recipe because this pot isn't going to last long! Made for Veggie Swap 2/2013 - congrats, VIP!

Great taste of spices. I used a black tea from India. I used honey but next time I'll sweeten it with splenda. Thanks Sharon :) Made for PRMR tag game
