Deliciously Warm Sweet and Spicy Chai Tea Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    An excellent chai recipe. I couldn't bring myself to add a whole cup of honey, so used 1/2c. But halfway through the pot of tea it became bitter, so I added the other 1/2c. This is very tasty...I added a *bloop* of cream to each mug as i went along. I still think loose tea is better than teabags. ;) Made for My3Chefs 6/08. Thank you!

    Sweet & Spicy Chai Tea,This is a recipe for a chai tea concentrate similar to what you would buy in the box at the grocery store. It is spicy and slightly sweet. use an organic orange when making the zest to avoid the strange waxy coating and any pesticides. I also like to use filtered water to avoid any off flavors you can get from hard water, flouride, or chlorine. Use whatever tea you like. The bags should be the standard size ones for making a cup of tea.,An excellent chai recipe. I couldn’t bring myself to add a whole cup of honey, so used 1/2c.
