i finally got around to making my own chai tea, and even better i finally got around to posting something about it. im not sure if it was perfect chai but it was pretty good, and i also want to try it again soon. maybe next time with my zarafina. so heres how it went the ingredients were: cinnamon, cardamon, cloves, and black tea. then i took a coffee filter and through them all in and tied it with some string like a little pouch and set it in a cup of hot water. this way worked alright but i didn’t have the right kind of black tea so it was just the tea that came through. next up was the other way where you chuck the spices into a (1 cup) pot of water and let it boil for about five minutes, then put two cups of milk in and let it boil some more with the black to, then filter out the. now that turned out well.

This is fun – I just started my own tea blog, and also made my own masala chai. I will never buy store bought again. Glad to have found your blog! Cheers!

Several months ago I made my own Genmaicha by toasting some brown rice. It was used to cover some Sencha that had grown stale. It worked pretty well though it didn’t taste like any commercially-made stuff. The homemade aspect can lend a lot of character to your tea.
