Grind into a powder the following from a fresh whole state:
50% Cinnamon
25% Cloves
15% Nutmeg
10% Cardomom
Approximately, by Volume.
For a small pot of tea (2-3 cups), I use the following:
1 heaping teaspoon of Ceylon Black or Darjeeling tea
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of the ground spices from above
1 French Vanilla single-serving thingie
Sweetener to taste (being sugar averse, I use 1 Sweet-n-Low + 1 Equal)
2 Tablespoons powdered Coffeemate or equivalent (I like the cheap stuff)
This comes out very much like a good chia (Nepali version of Chai). Probably because all our Foreign Aid shipped as powdered milk ends up on the black market and into Nepali’s chia, tasting much like Coffeemate.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can tell it must be DELICIOUS! Now I get to do some interesting shopping and cannot WAIT TO TRY IT!!!!
