    Another delicious spiced tea. This is very similar to masala chai. Pretty sweet so try less sugar at the beginning if you prefer it more bitter.

    A solid spiced milk tea so similar to some South Asian recipes I'm not sure I could tell the difference. Still on the sweet side so add sugar by taste not measure.

    This is a solid chai style tea. I'd cut back the sugar a bit... it's definitely sweet, but it's delicious and smells incredible, too.
