This is one of my favorite recipes. Enjoy!
- Put 4½ cups water in a saucepan, add 3 inch stick of cinnamon, 24 cardamom pods, and 24 whole cloves and bring to boil.
- Cover it and let it simmer for ten minutes.
- Add 2 cups of milk, 6 tablespoons of sugar and bring to boil again.
- Throw in 3 tablespoons of any not perfumed loose black tea leaves, cover it and turn off the heat.
- After two minutes strain the tea and serve immediately.

Note: You may substitute the 24 cardamom pods with 3½ teaspoons of ground cardamom, but you also need to know that crushed spices lose their essential oils with time, so if you use ground cardamom the chai may not be as tasty.

Kíváncsi vagyok, a pécsi 6 év alatt én miért nem ittam ilyet sosem?
(Persze, ha ez Andi receptje, akkor a 6 év alatt tessék 3-at érteni)
Vagy ittam?!? :D
Hát én csináltam ilyet a női órákra egyszer-kétszer. Nem tudom neked miért nem jutott.
De, ha eljöttöj Vajtára biztos csinálok.
Mennyivel kellemesebb téma, mint "Halljak meg önmagamnak"... Árpi az irány jó. Most miután a testünket kényeztettük jöhet a lélek kényeztetésre... :)
Nem adom fel...
