Whenever I have a delicious cup of Chai tea, I think of my daughter Rachel. She introduced me to it about 5 years ago and I fell instantly in love with it. It is the Indian way of drinking tea. You can buy the tea bags or make it yourself by putting shredded ginger, cinnamon powder and ground cardamon seeds in a pot with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes to let the flavor come out of the spices, then add tea and stir.
