Talk about comfort! This is so warming (hard to think about it in the summer)--BF and I made this and drank it over the winter break.

1 teaspoon cardamom
3 whole black peppercorns
2 slices fresh ginger, peeled
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves

Directions

1
Put the water in a saucepan, add the spices, and bring to a low boil.
2
Turn down the heat and let simmer for 4 to 10 minutes.

Add milk and sugar and bring to a heavy simmer.

This is great! I added a few cardamon pods and extra peppercorns and cloves plus honey. I have a cold and this has really helped with my breathing. Thanks for a nice tea!! I'll be making this in very large batches!

Very good!! I omitted the black peppercorns (didn't have any) & subbed ground ginger for the fresh, & ground cloves for whole. It was great & I'll definitely be making this again!!

My kids really love this homemade chai. I slightly crush the peppercorns and cardamon as I add them to the water, and often substitute 2 teaspoons honey for the sugar. It's fine with soy milk, also.
