    Thank you so much for posting these!

    I have made two of these recipes (adapted for what I have on hand) and they are just what I have been looking for! All of the other masala chais I’ve made have been too weak–but your recipes are perfect!

    And congratulations on your sweet baby– many magical moments are headed your way! Enjoy!

    Love your site!!!
    I also LOVE chai ; when I was in India, in 2006, I used to say “happiness is a cup of tea”… and still do!
    Here is my personnal (approximative) chai variation, to share with the sangha.

    Boil together spices in 4-5 cups of water : grated fresh ginger to taste (I use a 2-4 inches pealed piece), 3-4 cinnamon sticks, green cardamom to taste (I love it so I put a lot), 2-3 star anis, a few whole cloves (6-7), some grinded nutmeg, and a bit of grinded black pepper.
    Then add 4 cups of soy or cow organic milk and sugar to taste, and heat until it almost boils, and finally add black assam or sikkim tea and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
    Filter and enjoy.
    I also sometimes add a few drops of rose water in my cup…
    Simply delicious!
    Namaste,
    Prem,

    *Boil together the spices for at least 15 minutes, or more.
    ** You can keep the spice decoction alone (i.e.without the milk, sugar and tea) in the fridge and heat a small amount of it each morning for your daily fix… So you always have a “chai base” available!
