What a wonderful cold weather treat! This rich beverage tasted like spiced hot cocoa with a little something (tea) that you just can't place. I'd suggest letting sit a couple of minutes before pouring into mugs so that some of the spices can settle out. Whipped cream makes it truly decadent. Thanks, chia!

    This was really wonderful. I halved the recipe and used unmilled cane sugar and skim milk (though a thick variety from a local dairy). I also used a decaf black tea (as I was all out of my "fancy tea"). I could barely taste the tea which was just fine. Like Roosie, the only issue I had was that the spices sort of settled. Mine floated on the top which made the first few drinks and the later ones taste very different. Not a problem, just the way it was. I added a little cool-whip and didn't use peppermint sticks as I don;t have any, but I think this would be really good with some.

    Mmm! I was a little scared that this would be too odd for my taste, but its terrific!! I made only 1 servings worth and used China Orange Pekoe for the tea. I had to leave off the peppermint sticks because I didn't have any and I really didnt' feel like whipping any cream- I just poured a splash in the chai itself. I can imagine, though, how fantastic this would be with those two additions! I did substitute the nutmeg with Cinnamon Plus (#45672) because I cannot abide nutmeg. I did find that the spices sort of settled at the bottom, so next time I might strain this first, but otherwise fantastic!! I didn't feel like it had a strong tea flavor (after all, for a 1-cup serving, its only 1/3 cup tea) and it just provided a lovely spicy taste. This tastes like an exotic hot cocoa. Really delectable and easy to make!
