Chai

Since it's gotten cold, I've been curling up with a big mug of chai every night after the babies are in bed. It smells so wonderful while brewing, and it tastes even better. Did I mention it's a crockpot recipe? It couldn't be easier.

18 cups of water
15-20 slices of fresh ginger
3 tsp fennel
3 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 tsp cardamon
35 peppercorns
1/8 cup whole cloves, slightly crushed
3/4 cup brown sugar

Mix ingredients in crockpot. Cook on high for 5 hours. Then steep with 3 black tea bags (I use decaf, so I'm not up all night) for 10 minutes. Serve with half & half.

Keep the tea in the fridge for up to a week, reheating to serve.
