Chai Tea

This is a very special Indian tea. I drink it regularly and love to share it with my best friend.

For 2 cups:
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 cloves
• Fruits of 2 Green Cardamom
• 1 pinch of Fennel
• 2 peppercorn
• 3/4 tsp. loose black tea (I prefer Taj Mahal)
• 1/2 cup half-n-half or milk
• sugar or splenda to taste (necessary to bring out flavor of spices)

1. In small saucepan, bring to boil water, tea, Cloves, Cardamom, Fennel and Peppercorn.
2. Once you have brought these ingredients to boil, add half-n-half (or milk) and sweetener.
3. At the beginning of a boil, remove, strain and enjoy while hot!
