Thank you Charlee,
I have been buying Chai Teas at Costco. I am going to give this a try.
I always liked the Friendship Teas we made all the time too.

For those of us who don't do sugar, substitute Splenda for the amount of sugar called for.

Thanks, GG

This sounds great! My DD will also love it. If you use Splenda at the same amount, does it become sweeter, or have an aftertaste?

Yea..I made this mix and really love it. I drink milk in my tea and this is really good. Thanks.

cardamon is a spice used in alot of scandinavian breads and meats it is in the same family of flavors as cinamon & nutmeg but carries a very idividual flavor. I grew up in a swedish & norwegien family so this was a staple especially around christmas.

I am going to try this with using a sweetner (splenda or something) since I am diabetic. Hope it will work just as good.

Thanks

This sounds so good...wondering if anyone has tried it using a sugar-free sweetner rather than sugar. I am going to try it either with Splenda or the other sweetner that is supposed to be healthier than Splenda...can't remember the name of it now.
