HOMEMADE WARMTH

i'm on a bit of a chai kick lately. it's been unseasonably warm in indiana this winter, but the dreary look of things outdoors still requires a little spice.

here is the recipe i've been enjoying so much lately. it's different in that you simmer the tea and spices longer than most recipes would have you, creating in the end a somewhat thicker flavor (which is right up my alley).

i played with the sugar a little, used fresh ginger, and made sure to add cardamom, too. so much for mid-winter blues!
