I am seriously hooked on Chai tea. Usually I take a mug of Black Spice Chai to class in the morning (definitely with sugar, sometimes with a little bit of milk... no brandy, tho ). I've also tried making my own Chai and that's really good, too! Also big favorites: Apple Pie and Nutcracker Sweet (a Christmas Tea).

I was just informed by my doctor that I can absolutely not have anything caffeinated(chocolate, soda, coffee, tea) and I can't even have soda, coffee, or tea without caffeine. So..even if I liked tea I couldn't have it.
Ohhhhhhh, cosmiccowgirl101 ,please give me your recipe for home made chai tea!

I actually just recently started drinking tea. My favorites are green tea and raspberry iced-tea. I can't wait to try that chai though! Thanks for the recipe.

Is the best thing in the world. My favorite is Mint Medely and Plantation Mint mixed together with sugar or honey. But something that is really good is Mixed berry basket. Add 8 bags of that stuff to a boiling teapot and sit down with a good book (Something by David Eddings or R.A. Salvatore) and enjoy.
And yes it does need 8 bags to have a nice flavor. Sugar is optional.

There are lots of reasons why I enjoy a hot cup of tea: I love the aroma of various flavors of tea; holding onto a hot tea mug warms my hands on a cold winter morning; sipping tea in front of the fireplace is a great way to relax. And those are just the feel-good reasons.
