This chai recipe comes from my book Food for Friends: Homemade Gifts for Every Season. I had almost forgotten about chai until I read Amanda's comments on the subject (Feb 12 blog). This chai has quite a bit more than cardamon, but since you mix up a mess of it and keep it in your cupboard, it’s easy enough to grab a little during the three o’clock slump. A benefit to making your own mix is that you can add as much or as little sugar as you like. The same goes for the milk. When the weather warms up (and yes, I know it will) you can drink it iced—a nice change from ordinary iced tea. Oh, and Amanda, if you see a blonde with a Pekinese, that might just be me. <br />
