Wow, this is good. I've tried a few chai recipes, and this is the first one I've really, really liked. The cardamom and ginger really come through, with the cinnamon and clove in the background. It's just perfect. I cooked mine on the stovetop as directed, then let it cool and enjoyed it iced. It's just too hot outside for hot tea. But I'm sure I'll try it hot this winter. Thanks so much for sharing.

There are a lot of things I love about life, my family, my faith in God, my church family, my friends. I also enjoy so many hobbies. Working as a nurse means I work 3, 12 hour shifts a week and have 4 days off! Which gives me a lot of time to do the things I love like cooking, scrapbooking, photography and just recently herb/flower gardening!
My family includes my adorable and amazing husband and my 13 year old step-son (who proves to be a challange to this new mom but we love him soo!!!)
The newest love of my life is the beautiful little husky sitting on my lap in this picture. She is 5 months old and an absolute joy to our life!
I also just started a new cooking blog called 'Make it homemade.' I believe we can all save a lot of money, if we use our skills to make frequently store-bought items at home in our own kitchens! Besides, homemade just taste better! Check out the link below!
