tea relish

Funny how little things scurry into my mind these days. Things "au nouveau" that prick interest, the voice in the back of my mind until I absolutely must do something about it. So here I am this first week of spring, with chai tea of the brain. 
Yes, it helped that I had an wonderful day with a long-time friend this past Saturday and as we hopped into a little shop of tea on State Street, there on the wooden shelves was what my brain had been voicing...masala chai tea. At $13.00( 2.7 oz. bag) I knew my next assignment was to gather all my needed ingredients to make my own masal chai tea mix in the future. 

I am presently searching what I need. I will let do a future post on chai tea making 101. 

For now, I am happy to turn on my tea kettle, heat up my milk, and scoop my purchased loose masala chai tea into a cup to steep for 3-4 minutes.
