Chai Recipe

To start off, you'll need some black tea bags, whole spices like cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, and cloves, as well as fresh ginger and milk. Now, my grandmama always stressed the importance of using whole spices instead of pre-ground ones. She said it makes all the difference in the flavor.

When it comes to making the chai, the key is to simmer the tea bags and spices in water for a good while to really let those flavors meld together. I like to add a sprinkle of love in there too, just for good measure. While that's going, I'll heat up some milk on the stove until it's nice and warm.

Once the tea mixture has simmered to perfection, I strain it into a cup and then add in the warm milk. A little bit of sweetener, like honey or sugar, is just the cherry on top. I always take a sip and say a little thank you to my grandmama for passing down this recipe to me. It's a little piece of her that I get to carry with me every time I make it.

So, next time you're feeling a bit chilly or just need a pick-me-up, whip up a batch of this chai recipe and share it with someone you love. It's a little bit of magic in a cup, guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
