Here's the one I use:
Chai (recipe) (this yields three mugs of chai)
4 cups water
Bring to a boil
Add
3/8 tsp ground cinnamon
3/8 tsp ground ginger (add extra ginger to combat a cold or flu)
1/4 tsp ground cardamom (use 'green cardamom' if you can get it)
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/16 tsp black pepper (not too much, or it overwhelms the other spices)
Simmer 3 minutes
Add
3 level tsp Darjeeling tea (or other good black tea)
Simmer 2 minutes
Add
1 1/2 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
3 level tsp sugar
Return to boil, strain into pot, serve
