This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spices. I always have a bunch of ginger, cloves, and cardamom in my pantry, so this is a perfect way to use them up.

I found that the concentrate was a bit too sweet for my liking. I would recommend using less sugar or honey next time.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I used to spend so much money on chai lattes from coffee shops. Now I can make my own at home for a fraction of the cost.
