many parts of the world. It is a centuries-old beverage which has played an important role in many cultures. People in India brew low-grade and
broken-leaf tea or even CTC black tea with one spice, such as cardamom or ginger, along with milk and sugar. With a few rolling boils, the brew obtains a
wonderful golden color and full body flavor. The spices used vary from region to region and among households in India. The most common are
cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and pepper. Indian chai produces a warming, soothing effect, acts as a natural digestive aid and gives one a
wonderful sense of well being. In the U.S., cloves and cinnamon are also commonly used, making this blend of tea spices into a ready-to-drink
concentrate. Elsewhere in the world, chai is traditionally served in a clay cup, which is usually discarded by the drinker. Recently, these cups have
become more refined with intricate designs and glazes. Making Chai is easy! Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over 1 tsp of Chai; let steep 5 mins for black tea
or up to 3 mins for green tea, then add 1/2 cup of hot milk or condensed milk for greater sweetness. Strain leaves & spices before drinking. Another
suggestion is to simmer 1 tsp of Chai with 1/2 cup milk & honey on stovetop. Gradually add 1/2 cup water. Strain leaves & spices before drinking. Pouring
over ice also makes a delicious Iced Chai!

root�s effectiveness in the treatment of stomachic, digestive and circulatory disorders. Much of the research done on the plant�s antinausea properties
