Home-Made Chai Tea - Made right in the crock-pot!

This sweet tea is just divine, and fun to make.

8 cups of water
8 bags of black tea
3/4 cup sugar
16 whole cloves
16 whole cardamon seeds
5 cinnamon sticks
8 slices fresh ginger
1 cup milk (keep aside for serving)

Add all ingredients except for milk into crock-pot. Cook on high 2 1/2 hrs. Strain mixture, discard solids. At this point, tea can be covered and stored for 3 days in fridge.

Stir in milk just before serving. You'll love it!

Chai tea is pretty sweet, so if you like it less sweet, reduce sugar to 1/2 cup Makes 8-10 servings

In India we also add Fennel Seeds to the list of ingredients. Best drink for Winter time.
