Here’s a re-posting of my favorite recipe for Chai tea…because today in Palm Beach County the weather is downright chilly, perfect for a steaming cup. I’ve got mine!!

I am often inspired to create in the kitchen by the movies I watch. Last night I viewed the film “The Lunchbox”. There is a scene where Ila pours chai from a small, steaming pot into her glass through a strainer. I found myself absolutely craving those warm Indian spices steeped in lightly sweetened hot milk.

I went online and found the perfect recipe from Vegan Richa’s blog and luckily happened to have all the ingredients on hand! It may seem awfully ambitious, but believe me the recipe is actually quick and easy once the ingredients are gathered.

Step 1:

Grind the spices for the Chai blend

Step 2:

Combine the spice blend with water, sugar, loose tea and fresh grated ginger and bring to a boil.
