Chai Tea Gift Mixes
Using small treasures from thrift stores as containers, ribbons, whole spices, and loose tea, my children and I created Chai Tea gift mixes for our Christmas gifts. Last week my friend Cheryl inspired me to start making Chai tea, and that’s when I figured out what we’d give as gifts this year. Praise the Lord for friends and their ideas! 
Chai Tea
Homemade chai tea… friends served it to us once and ever since, I’ve wanted to make it myself. I looked around the internet last week and collected recipes that I thought looked traditional in their use of whole spices and quality black tea. What I did to make this recipe was take what I thought was best about each recipe and put it together. That translates as: using almost every spice I saw mentioned, besides the “usual” cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. In this recipe, you’ll also learn how to decaffeinate your own black tea leaves, making this a kid-friendly drink!
