That said, I have had wonderful homemade chai at my yoga studio and recognize the obvious difference in deliciousness. It is not until now that I've taken the time to sit down and research what goes into making the difference between homemade and tea bag versions. Thank you for educating me! Much appreciated.

Of course I just had a cup of chai, btw I used ginger, clove, cinammon and nutmeg (hard to find cardamom in my city :(...) I'm starting the chai making art and this blog just made be go even deeper into this world.
