Bought all the spices last night and made myself one this afternoon. Delicious. Tastes better than the $7.00 ones those art history majors used to make me at the coffee shop. This recipe makes enough for five, 14 oz drinks. You can basically spend twenty minutes making enough to last a week. Total cost is about 40 cents a drink unless I added something wrong.

I firmed up the character of this recipe, found on some fr00t vegan's blog http://mydarlingvegan.com/2012/09/spicy-chai-tea-latte/:      

Ingredients:
       
  1. 5.5 cups reverse osmosis mountain spring blessed by a holy man water
  2. 4 black tea bags
  3. teaspoon cinnamon
  4. teaspoon nutmeg
  5. teaspoon ground cardamom
  6. 1/4 tsp cloves
  7. 1/8 tsp black peppercorn <---this is actually not that spicy. Try 1/2 a teaspoon.
  8. 1 tbsp fresh ginger root, coarsely chopped
  9. 1-2 tbsp sugar
     
Simmer this mixture for ten minutes then strain through a coffee filter. Add 6 oz of whole milk to 8 oz of the spice mixture and heat. Enjoy your latte relaxing by the fire, petting your Eugene Stoner engineered death machine, and reflecting how thousands of sailors used to risk their lives in rickety wooden boats to sail around the globe just to trade trinkets to savages for a small sack of the spices you bought last night at the grocery store for a few bucks before hopping into your bro dozer powered by Arab oil and liberal crybaby tears to cruise back to your bunker.

Good stuff, I'll take one of those ove a coffee any day.

Unless made at home most coffee is too bitter or just taste stale, a nice Chai Latte is hard to mess up and it's all I order if I have to get something from starfucks

Having been a spicy chai connoisseur for almost two decades, I find that about half of all coffee joints make the drink poorly. A common sin is using 2% milk; might as well pour white colored water in there. Another transgression is insufficient peppercorn. This one baffles me because it's the cheapest spice on the list. I figure it must be that your average pajama boy can't handle the manly punch of a properly peppercorned spicy chai latte so the joint dials it back.
