Chai Tea

I have this terrible craving for coffee and tea lately! Two really good friends make homemade chai and I have finally found a good chai recipe of my own so I thought I would share in case anyone else gets a craving too. It came from www.allrecipes.com It's excellent over ice too! Enjoy : )

INGREDIENTS
1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
1 cup French vanilla flavored powdered non-dairy creamer
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened instant tea
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom


DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, combine milk powder, non-dairy creamer, vanilla flavored creamer, sugar and instant tea. Stir in ginger, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder.
To serve: Stir 2 heaping tablespoons Chai tea mixture into a mug of hot water.

Mmmm -- I will have to try it! Thanks for the note on FB. It would be great to get together at long last. :) We'll be in touch as Mitch's arm heals.
