Chai Tea Concentrate

Chai Tea Concentrate

Convenient (and relatively inexpensive) way to have chai lattes at home with this chai concentrate, a favorite tea. The cardamom can be a bit expensive; try looking in the bulk section of a health food store. If you need to buy a jar of it, don’t worry — it will make several batches!
