The Perfect Chai

This winter, its been snowstorm after snowstorm- before you recover from the last one, the weatherman is warning of the impending blanket of white stuff. To stay warm, I've been drinking ALOT of tea. My favorite tea is black tea, and I love it made Kenyan/Indian style-
 

1. Boil 4 cups of water
2. Add 1 tbsp. of loose black tea + a combination of any, but preferably all of the following spices ; ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom
3. Let boil for about two minutes, then add 2-3 cups of milk according to your preference
4. Turn off the stove when the chai comes to a boil 

Yum, i drink about 99 cups a day of this tea every day in the winter time. This tea tastes best fresh, so I try not to make too much at once, which can be time consuming when there's snow to be shoveled int he driveway. Great thing STASH tea makes packs all the delicious flavor in a  teabag. Their recipe adds cinnamon and clove, which does the impossible- makes a perfect chai even better! Stash tea can be found in the tea/coffee seation of your local grovery store or online.
