(all my spices are pre-ground except for the cardamom, cloves and peppercorns - i just throw those in whole) PLUS sometimes i add fenugreek seed (adds a maple-y flavor) oh yeah, i add a dash of turmeric, too.

I will try this recipe but the "mistake" is a pretty big one, are you positive about this correction? I love Chai and its soo much better for you than coffee…so I think it is.

It could almost be a commercial advertisement drawn here. I like it. There is a mistake, though. It says to stir "like constantly" for 30 minutes. They mean 30 seconds to a minute. Don't slave over that pot of chai for a half-hour. Do try soymilk if you're going to add any of that. <a href="http://www.jasonwitt.org/teaternity.html" rel="nofollow">--Teaternity</a> This artist is really impressive.

I love chai, though I admit, I'd probably be too lazy to prepare it myself. But I could fall back on this recipe if my favourite label is taken out of stores:) Witty and fun!
