This is an aromatic, Indian style black tea that contains many spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, etc. You can also add a shot of brandy to the tea to make a drink I call a Shangri-La.

Heat 6 oz. of water in a tea cup or coffee mug. I put it in the microwave for 3 minutes.
While the water is heating, heat about 3 Tbs of milk on low in a small saucepan or briki (the small copper pot shown in the picture. Make sure the milk only becomes warm, so that it does not boil, burn, or form a skin.
Steep the chai spiced black tea bag in the hot water for 5 minutes.
Add the milk and 1 tsp of sugar, or however much you would like. If you want more spice, you can add a dash of cardamom, nutmeg, and/or cinnamon.
