Comforting and uplifting....CHAI!
I was visiting blogs yesterday and read about this recipe on Angry Chicken. It seemed worth a try! So, I am sipping on a cup right now....[I had only one tea bag of black tea in the house this morning....a good ole "Lipton".] Not bad! I'll pick up some Assam tea and enjoy this for the rest of the winter!

Chai Concentrate
Published December 1, 2009 [in the food section of the Oregonian newspaper]
Makes about 1 1/2 cups (enough for 28 cups of chai)
Unlike many brands of chai mix, this one includes the sweetener and the milk. All you add is a mug of hot tea.
Ingredients
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon granulated sugar (I didn't add this, no need for more sugar in my opinion!)
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

What a nice gift - I've heard of a recipe for a dry mixture to add to your tea to make chai tea - I'll have to look that up sometime.

Sounds so fragrant. I love the scent of cardamon...I love the word! lol thanks for the recipe! ♥
Mmm, that sounds good, but I have no s.c. milk in the house, nor cardamom or nutmeg. And no car to go get them. Sigh!
Mmmm Love Chai tea....

It is always so nice to have something warm and comforting on a winter day...Love this! Mary
