OOH LA LA CHAI TEA RECIPE, Servings 4 cups
I N G R E D I E N T S :
- 4 cups filtered Water

Note: A fine cut black tea from Kerala in South India is the best! However, if this is not an option – Simply grind a black tea of choice in a coffee grinder, it will make for a stronger tasting brew. Many teas will work well: Green, Rooibos (red tea, caffeine free, earthy flavor), Argentinian Mate or Peppermint.
