My Chai

I made a great cup of Chai today. Here is the recipe, three cinnamon sticks, ten cardamon pods, a two inch piece of fresh ginger sliced, ten whole cloves, ten peppercorns, two anise stars, peel and juice of one orange, two and a half cups water, one and half cups milk, six tablespoons honey, two or three tablespoons black tea.

Put water and spice in a pot and bring to a boil. Then add the orange juice and peel, set the pot aside and steep for fifteen minutes. Next add the honey and milk and bring to boil again. Then add black tea and steep for another ten minutes. Strain and serve.
