This should get rid of that thick, creamy taste. Also, we put in a bit more cardamom and if you crush the cinnammon and other spices a little before putting them in to boil, it might bring out their flavor a bit more. Chai is a great comfort drink on a cold day!STnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678127600913785710.post-1589669044500178932009-11-05T14:44:57.538-05:002009-11-05T14:44:57.538-05:00Looks Awesome!
