Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    My family's go-to chai recipe - so comforting, esp. on a chilly day. The whole spices are easy to use - just pour the chai through a stainer into a teapot to serve.

    Used oat milk. For the Chai lover in the house, he said it could have brewed longer. For the others they said it was actually rather nice. I would prefer less sugar, but given I'd never had it before that's my personal view.

    Solid recipe, but would use less sugar next time.

    Love the mixture of spices in this chai. Might dial back on the sugar a bit but I enjoyed it as a sweet treat. The lengthy cooking time certainly extracts a lot of caffeine from the tea - I was buzzing around the house for a while!
