Chai spice mix
- 6 medium Green cardamom pods.

- 3 medium whole cloves.
- 2 slices ginger, fresh.

Even the biggest coffee fiends can appreciate a nicely brewed chai. We’re not talking about the powdered guff here. We’re talking whole spices with added vanilla bean for sweetness. If you love this recipe, make up a triple batch and keep the brewed chai in your fridge ready for to be iced whenever you fancy!
