Cold Day: Hot Herbal Chai

I have several herbal chai recipes, but I love this one from John and Kimberly Gallagher.
· 3 ½ cups of boiling water
· 2 Cinnamon sticks
· 1 Tablespoon fresh Ginger, grated
· 1 whole Nutmeg, chopped
· 1 Tablespoon Cardamom seed pods
· 1 Tablespoon Astragulus root
· ½ tsp. whole Cloves
· ¼ tsp. black Peppercorns
· ½ tsp. Anise seeds
· ½ tsp. whole Allspice
· ½ tsp. Echinacea root
Simmer 15 min. If you want, add 1/8 cup black tea after removing from heat and steep for 3 more minutes. Strain.
· Add ¼ cup warm milk and honey to taste.

    Ya It$ the $OFT drink companie$ who have HIGHLY influenced the FDA, to keep A$partame in the diet drink$. And actually put a band on stevia (zero calorie sweet herb) for many year$ because they were afraid of competition!!!
