I really enjoyed this smooth, mild chai. I'll be sipping occasionally now, constantly when winter comes along.

For a more flavorful version, lightly crush the fennel seeds and cardamom pods in a pestle and mortar. Warm and satisfying on a grey, rainy day here. Soy milk, almond, rice milk or similar can easily replace cow's milk. Made three times in a 24-hour period using Mighty Leaf's 'Orange Dulce' tea and Stash's English breakfast. Reviewed for Veg Tag January. -
This is a mild but most enjoyable tea. I don't generally use milk in my tea but it worked very well in this. I didn't have fennel seed so subbed anise seed. Yum, warm and comforting. Thanks Little. :D -
Refreshing version of chai tea - and much quicker than some other variations I've tried. I more or less quartered the recipe since it was just for me, and I found 2 card pods and about 1tsp of fennel was perfect....I like fennel but sometimes it can be overwhelming. I know fennel is great for digestion, so this was a nice drink to have after lunch. Worked nicely with vanilla rice milk. Thanks for sharing LM! -
This a fabulous chai....I enjoyed it so much that I made as an extra recipe on ZWT6 and then made it again this morning.

I come from the land of Dracula and I have two little daughters; they're three years apart.I travelled a lot and I lived in Hungary,Croatia,Canada,Thailand,Japan and Iran(DH is from here). I've seen a lot of wonderful places, the travel bug is still in me but waiting for DDs to grow a little so we can go together. Lots of wonderful memories and hoping to add some more,but my travelling style has to be adjusted now.No more backpacking! I feel old,suddenly.
My girls are everything for me and I'm lucky that I'm able to be at home with them.My life really changed since having them.
I like eating healthy,DH works out a lot and taught me about the right foods.Right now I'm trying to lose a few kg,but I'm happy if I lose one kg/month. Never needed a drastic diet,I drink a lot of water and luckylly there's no McDonalds here(yet) to eat junk food. I prefer homemade cooking to restaurants, these days we can make a better tasting meal at home. I like knowing what goes in my food and what hands are cooking it. I always look at a chef's hands and believe me I've seen dirty fingers too!
I came to the Zaar to look for a pancake recipe and now my refrigerator is full with jars of homemade stuff. I made a lot of friends and I enjoy playing in the tag games since receiving a premium membership gift from Sydney Mike. Thank you, Syd.
I want to thank everyone who makes my recipes and takes the time to take photos. Sometimes I loose track and I can't get back to thank each person making a recipe. I don't mind if someone doesn't stick to the recipe,everyone's taste and needs are different,sometimes ingredients are hard to find and I know this better than most. Please feel free to experiment and hope we'll learn something new from your feedback.
