My *slightly modified* recipe for Chai tea.
NOTE - all measurements are approximate.
Ingredients:
5 cups water
2 black or Darjeeling tea bags
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
2 tsp. fennel or anise seed
12 cloves
12 allspice thingies
Put the water to boil with the tea bags. Add the cinnamon and ginger; grind or crush the fennel/anise seed, cloves, and allspice and add.
Boil for five minutes, then take it off the heat and let it cool. Strain it.
Add milk and sugar to taste - for me, the ratio of milk to tea mixture is 1:2.
Curl up with a book and enjoy. :)
