Convenient (and relatively inexpensive) way to have chai 'lattes' at home. The cardamom can be a bit expensive; try looking in the bulk section of a health food store. If you need to buy a jar of it, don't worry - it will make several batches!

I've tried the powdered versions but this one has the best flavor to me. I love this iced for the warm Florida days but it's lovely in a cup of hot tea after dinner with a cookie. Try stirring it into a milkshake- mmmmm!!
