Mmmmm... I can almost smell it now!
yum..I can almost taste it. A rainy Saturday and home made chai, sounds like a perfect day to me...
Hi,
Do you use any particular brand of black tea? There are so many black teas to choose from. Do you have a favourite?
Actually, I'm a confirmed Earl Grey Drinker which is too fragrant (for me) for Chai, so I use what's on hand. For this one, it was nothing too fancy. Just Lipton.
