Thanks...I love good tea, but was never really sure what went into it. I appreciate the recipe!


Mmm thanks


This looks really good. I am totally going to try it! I am curious to know why one of the related tags is "cheese"... :)


Do you think this would still work if I only used 34.5 oz of water?


Awesome ingredients! Shhhh, don't tell anybody! It is super secret!


I drink Chai just about every day...now i can make it @ home. thank you very much..


I never thought of mint in my chai! My mother is a snob about how REAL chai (from India/East Africa) doesn't have all those spices they put in it nowadays. I'll definitely keep this a secret!


This sounds great! Iced too.


This is great! Thanks for sharing it! ~Laura ;D


I like this hot in the winter and iced in the summer. I go to the Indian market and buy masala (spice mix) already in a jar so I don't have to mix my own. Thanks


Thanks for the recipe. I like tea's, but especially chai in the winter months.


Thanks for the post. I can't wait to try this. It sure will save a lot of money not having to go to the coffee shops.
