Chai is an Indian spiced-tea beverage that is enjoyed both hot and iced. Dried orange rind and ginger add even more flavour. Present this mix with a pretty teacup and the recipe for Chai Tea for Four (see below).
Ingredients
Preparation
Slice ginger into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick slices; arrange on rack. Using vegetable peeler, peel orange rind (avoiding white pith); add to rack. Let dry at room temperature until brittle, about 24 hours.

Tip: To make with tea bags, prepare milk and water as directed. Steep 2 tea bags and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the spice mixture, trying to get a bit of everything. Let stand for 5 minutes. Sweeten as desired.
