Brew me a cup for a winter’s night.
For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;
Spice it with love and stir it with care,
And I’ll toast our bright eyes,
my sweetheart fair.

Years ago, a special friend shared her Chai Tea recipe with me. It is so tasty and perfect for cold, wintry weather :)
Indian Chai Tea
4-6 Black Tea Bags
1 quart Water
6 Whole Cloves
6 Cardamom Pods
1 Cinnamon Stick
1/2 Star Anise (optional)
2 cups Milk
1/2 cup Honey
Place all ingredients in a saucepan. Place on medium heat. Bring to almost a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes. Strain to drink. Enjoy! :)
Hello, I love Chai Tea, it is so yummy. I love the photo, so cozy and inviting.
ReplyDeleteBut this has been the driest winter for the plains. This drought has us mighty worried. Praying daily for God to send us a wet spring.
Blessings and have a wonderful week! Roxy
Hi Sharon! I see a foot of snow outside my window, and 5" in the forecast. I need this tea!! And some warm mittens wouldn't hurt either...
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good Monday, and keeping warm :)
