Tea, Anyone?

I love to drink tea and learned from my former mother in law in Gujarat, India how to make the best Chai.  The best advice she gave me was to use the freshest ingredients and to crush all of the herbs thoroughly before putting them into the pot of water.  Try and get some good black tea from an Indian grocery store (there is one in the Fillmore Center).

I make this during our Prenatal Teacher Training program (starting June 7th) and all of Yoga Garden smells like (the best of) India!
