Cookbook creator says: This is a great recipe. I love the variety of what can be done with it. I added some slivers of "colored variety" bell peppers, a tablespoon of lime juice, and some fresh herbs to this. Very colorful and delicious plus a point for the veggies section.

This is how I make chai when I need something warm that makes me feel enveloped in comfort without the added calories of my former addiction: hot chocolate. It's spicier (in a warming way that is very soothing) and lighter in taste than any chai from a coffee shop. The method is also quite authentic. If you can, make sure to use fresh, whole cardamom pods, whole cloves, and freshly ground black pepper. You can also add a couple of drops of vanilla extract or use a very small amount of fresh ginger. The recipe is calculated with four teaspoons of sugar, but it is completely up to you.
