Oh, and Happy, Happy Friday, y'all!

Hello Lovelies!

 Artist: Paul Thurlby

Hooray, it's Friday! Beware of the January blues, though... To go through those tough winter times, how about some spicy chai tea to warm us all up?

hot, spicy chai

try this :
first choose some unflavored black tea, preferably from India

then add to your hot broiled tea
1 clover
1 cinnamon stick
a bit of fresh grated ginger
1 cardamom pod, opened and crushed
a cloud of milk

You can play around with the spices, add star anise, more or less ginger etc...

Sip while very hot!
