Notes
There will be spices in the bottom of the tea, you can pour it through a few layers of cheesecloth to strain, but I just leave the cinnamon sludge in the bottom of the pan or the cup.

I can almost smell your ginger chai from here! Aren’t we lucky to have Penzeys “right down the street?”

I was so excited to find they’d opened a store in Tucson. Before that, I only knew them via catalog and a little shop in the strip district in Pittsburgh.
