A friend of mine loves her chai quite spicy so she makes it with Tea Total's Nepal Masala blend. Same method as what I have described but with extra whoosh... as she describes it. XD Personally while I love that hint of spice, I like it all to be subtle. Heya :)

It was so tasty, that even with the pain I just had to enjoy the entire cup. After that I kept on thinking about drinking more but never got around to it. Now I know how to make it, WHOOP! -Sel I’ve only had one chai tea in my entire life, I never expected it to be sweet, so it was such a surprise my jaw locked on the first sip.

It is made more special because you know you've MADE it yourself, and its not just out of a tea bag. I think part of what makes it special is the actual preparation.

Strangely enough I don't have a microwave currently so will have to adlib there, but no problem. Think I'll need to stop at the supermarket on the way home for some ingredients.
