I was just wondering, I looked up the original recipe and it said to add the sugar, honey, and vanilla after it was steeped, your recipe calls to do it before steeping.

Is there a reason? Is one way better than another? Or is it just an honest mistake?

Inquiring minds and thirsting tounges want to know.

Oh my! I made this and was in heaven! Had to go to the local health food store to pick up the few ingredients I didn’t have….nutmeg, cardamom and star anise. Cardamom is the most expensive. I paid 7.50 for 0.220 lbs, it runs 34.00 a pound. I used the green pods. I used granulated orange peel instead of zest. This was quick and easy to throw together. Won’t last long that’s for sure. Need to stock up on ingredients.

WOW – not only lovely photos, but a wonderfully easy and perfect for those weekly winter storms we have been having here in NY! Love chai tea and this recipe is the kind I seek when creating wonderful food at home – and in this case amazing homemade chai tea – will most certainly come on back and check out more of your recipes. Thank you for sharing. I will print out the chai recipe but promptly!

As an Indian, this recipe is nothing short of scandalous to me. Don’t get me wrong, the concoction sounds wonderful, if a little overboard with flavours but it simply cannot be called “Chai”. Ginger, cardamom and whatever other spices one likes to use have to be boiled with milk slowly till the flavours are released. A little black tea is added in the end. Use too much tea, or add it to soon to the milk, and the end product is something very bitter. You cannot just throw in an obscene number of teabags, add spices and call it chai! And damn starbucks for misinforming the entire country about what chai is.
