my chai

Happy March

made much happier

with a cup of chai tea

to see you through until 

Spring



the key players
from my spice rack

Rather than a mortar and pestle

I use this mini food processor

and give the assorted spices

6 

that's six!

pulses

that's important

because you don't want them too

fine.

Trust me.

I follow Heather's recipe

from Beauty That Moves

for the concentrate

You can acquire all the ingredients

from your local Kroger

however

the cardamon is ground

I find it quite strong

so I use 1/4 teaspoon

for my concentrate

and

since I prefer

to limit my caffeine

I use 5 tea bags

(my favorite brand is Yorkshire Gold)

rather than the suggested 8

which still gives it 

a little kick

Make any adjustments you feel

fit your mood

which is sure to be lifted

as you sip this warm

aromatic

 elixir.

Celebrate March

with a cup of homemade

goodness.
