Masala Chai Tea Mix
Yield: About three tbsp.

1 tbsp whole cardamom
1 stick of cinnamon, about 2"
2 cloves
1/2 tsp ginger, cut into very small pieces
1/2 tsp whole allspice
1/4 tsp black peppercorns
1/4 tsp anise or fennel

For the best results, use only spices that are fresh (not more than 3 months old) and whole. Mix ingredients together and wrap/store in a small airtight container or spice jar and label.

Tip: Holiday presentation: wrap the jar in cellophane, tie with ribbon, and include a homemade gift card. On the gift card, telling the recipient that this chai tea mix to be added to their favorite black tea with warm milk (add directions, e.g.: for each cup of tea, grind one to two tbsp. of the spice mix, boiled with 1/2 to 2/3 cups of whole milk for five minutes, and add to the brewed tea).
