Chai Masala

This is like a fireplace and a warm blanket in a cup. It is comforting and energizing and relaxing and addictive all at the same time. It's kind of a lot of work for a cup of tea, but it is worth every minute. This is wonderful to serve to company instead of coffee and is sure to impress.
