Chai (Indian spiced tea)

My simple version of Chai. It's decaf green tea, not too strong, with some ground cinnamon and cardamom, as well as a generous amount of honey and sugar. (I actually like unsweetened tea; it's just not good for me.)

I like to dip crispy baked cinnamon-sugar Mediterranean crackers, as well as homemade biscuits, in my tea. The Chai is very warm and soothing. A few winters ago, when I had aches and pains from the very cold weather, this was one thing that helped a lot. This post is in honor of #internationalteaday !

Masala Chai Pear Scone

This recipe is from a Binjal's Veg Kitchen recipe. I added about 1/2 tsp baking soda, just to be on the safe side with the yogurt included in the scones. Canned sliced pears made measuring and chopping the fruit, a breeze. After they were baked and cooled, I enjoyed a scone or two for dinner. Delicious!
