I love my chai. Most chai we drink in the States is (from what I've heard) Americanized and very unlike the original spiced Indian tea. But authentic or not, it's good stuff. With the weather cooling down, I thought I'd post a link to a chai recipe along with a fun spin on the drink.

• Heat 1/2 cup chai (or one chai teabag, which are available at most grocery stores and coffee shops)
• Combine with 1/2 cup hot apple juice
• Add in a dash of cinnamon and/or cloves to taste

This makes one cup of Apple Cider Chai. Following the same ratio (1/2 chai, 1/2 apple cider), its easy to make an entire crock pot full of the drink for large groups and parties. (Caramel is also a wonderful addition!)
