A cup of chai

I told xjenavivex we should have a cup of chai today. It occurs to me that many of you might like one too. Tea is such a balm! I'm making this tea the way Jaspreet Kindra showed me when she visited. Jaspreet Kindra is one of my real-life heros--she's done world-class reporting... and she makes an excellent cup of chai.


First, peel a small piece of ginger, and then grate it (actually, Jaspreet grinds hers or pounds it, I think--but I have a grater, so that's what I used)


Then crack some cardamo...
