Turmeric Chai Tea
This recipe is enough for 2 cups but I tripled it so I can use it all week. If you are uncertain about these spices I suggest you add small amounts and sip your way to perfection one spice at a time … just be sure you write down the amounts you like. Making a larger amount takes the same amount of time but you won't have to make it again so soon!
