In many parts of India there is a saying that loosely translated as: “spiced chai…the tea that eats like a meal” - and in certain 

parts of India it’s true.  Traditional Indian chai is a heady mix of spice and tea.  Chai recipes are handed down from generation 

to generation the way westerners pass on grandma’s apple pie recipe.  The tea is traditionally brewed by boiling milk, adding 

good thick black tea, various spices and then boiling it again.  The resulting mixture is thick, spicy and incredibly full-bodied.
