Yumm! I did this slightly differently as I used Rice Dream instead of milk and find it separates if heated so I just added it at room temperature at the end. I also used tea bags I find strong so added them after I steeped the spices for the five minutes. This is a sweet chai but I liked it using dark brown sugar. The whipped cream and cinnamon was the nice touch that made it different and what I was wanting on top of my chai.

It seemed like I was adding a LOT of milk(I used for a double recipe 2c half & half, 3c skim milk) but it was excellent!! DD loved this also. Very nice on a wet, dreary day. I used 2TB loose darjeeling instead of tea bags. I doubled everything but the sugar. I'm thinking the recipe as is might be on the very sweet side. Made for My 3 Chefs 6/08. I'm making more tomorrow.... :)

I love food and I love to cook, but I rarely ever have the time to cook as often as I like. I love trying different foods and enjoy learning to make new foods.
