CHAI RECIPE
(for 6 cups of chai - scale up or down as you like)
Ingredients:
- 7 cups of water (1 cup per cup of chai, plus one extra for the pot that gets lost to steam)

- 1 Tbsp ginger, chopped/crushed
- 3 Tbsp green cardamom pods, crushed a bit
- 1 small stick of cinnamon, crushed a bit

Directions:
1. Crush your spices (using a mortar & pestle if you have one)
2. Boil the water, add the tea, and continue to boil for another minute.
3. Add the spices, and continue to boil for another 2-3 minutes.
