Hello, I have been visiting this group for a while now and just recently decided to join. Have been a fan of tea. The variety is amazing.Actually it was my mom (who is around 75 yrs old ) who convinced me to switch to tea from coffee. And I am glad I did.
Me and my mom love that chai tea from starbucks. But recently my mom has not been keeping good health and hence has been missing out on her favorite tea. So I started checking online to see if I can get more info on how to make chai tea at home. Found out that chai tea has 4-5 spices and they have to be ground before adding to the tea, etc etc. Well, my mom can't do that !!! Then I found this website supremespice.com which sells spice extracts and they have something called Tea masala extract . I was thrilled. Ordered one, used it and it was wonderful. I just had to add 1-2 drops of that extract to my regular tea. My mom loved it. It actually turned out better than Starbucks chai tea. Someone had posted a question abt what would be good Christmas gift for a tea lover. Well, I know what I am giving my mom. That site also had Cardamom extract and Ginger extract (haven't tried them yet). So I am planning to give my mom the Tea masala, cardamom and ginger extracts so she can enjoy her tea at home.
I was very thrilled about my discovery and thought I should share with all of you. Will be having chai tea instead of eggnog this Christmas :) Cheers, Emma
