Yay for Chai! I actually thought about doing the very same thing, because I have this pre-packed Masala chai at home (well, now I'm out of it) and apparently, all Indians make their tea themselves, so I'll try out some recipes now and learn more (and especially buy spices!) in India. ^o^

My first batch I made with cinnamon stick, all spice, cloves, and freshly cut ginger. It came out really good. Much better than starbucks, I think. ^_^
