Chai - any fans ?

[Answerprancer]

How do you make yours ?
(assuming there are a few people here who prefer Chai tea to Tai Chi).

How do I make it?

Put one bag of Palanquin Spiced Tea into a mug and add boiling water. Leave to stand for a couple of minutes and stir well. Remove bag, add milk and sugar (I like plenty of both!) and stir again. Settle into favourite chair, cup mug between hands and drink.

Lovely!

Do not drink tea

Ah "camping chai" I like that one too Chris, I have to go into Southall to get it though.

Why not Daisy - what will it do to me ? ;-)

[DaisyNonna]

I loathe the taste.

Haven't you got a Tesco near to you then, AP?

Palanquin Spiced Tea is sold in most of their larger stores but, confusingly, it's not in the tea aisle. You have to seek out the 'foreign foods' section.

Our nearest one is a bit of a trek, but I'll look out for it (the chai).

Teabag in mug, hot water water in mug, let brew for a couple of minutes, remove teabag, voila!

I don't take milk with mine, although an Indian colleague always does.

sipped from the saucer - lol

I either put a teabag in my cup, add hot water, leave it a few minutes, remove teabag, add one sugar and stir, or, put tea leaves in a teapot, add boiling water, stick teapot on gas ring (low) go off doing something else and forget it's there.

Lipton sell Moroccan teabags, they're pretty good too. Medium weak, sweetened, no milk (ever) - very refreshing.

Turkish apple tea..
put leaves in cup, pour boiling water over add 2 lumps of sugar...stir and sip piping hot....lovely.

I was specifically referrring to chai (tea with spices added) I make mine using a couple of normal teabags (PG Tips etc) chopped cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, pepper and nutmeg - loads of milk. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.

[askyourgran]

I would have thought it would taste nice without the milk AP, as boxy says the Moroccan teabags are nice with no milk.
