So good and much better than the instant stuff. Once you invest in the spices, also much less expensive than Oregon Chai. Even better with ginger and more cardamon! - 15 Mar 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I wored with a young lady from India who advised me to add a little ginger and kick up the cardomom a notch (smile). This recipe was excellent. I also had to substitute heavy cream for the milk (as the kid used it all on chocolate milk). - 19 Jan 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This tea is very bland and not like in Indian restaurants. I can`t feel no one spice, it seems like I`am drinking simple tea with milk. 2-3 minutes are not enough to make all spices give their flavor. - 17 Jul 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
