CHAI TEA MIX GIFT IN A JAR
Watch out Starbucks, you'll be out of business in no time. The nutmeg and allspice is an added spice hit, use as desired. Also, I've been playing around with the amount of sugar, I like the sweetness with just 1/2 cup sugar, some suggest no sugar at all. If you don't care for the residue in the bottom of your cup, you can strain the mix with a fine sieve. Food for thought. Note 12-21-12 (I want to thank the gal that just reviewed The Chai Tea.... she used it in her K coffee machine by just running hot water into the cup, perfect temperature for the tea mix)
