A dear friend of several years, Emily and a native of Seattle, had passed some time in Madrid Capital working for Disney Spanish Division. During this time, we had developed a wonderful friendship, over the years she was here. She always prepared such a lovely Homemade Chai, Black Tea with spices and cream.

Rod, & Ahron, & Dan, Good afternoon. This versión of Chai is very wonderful ... and aromatically just sensational ... It is truly healing too ... Ginger is a remedy for nauseau and motion as well as sea sickness ... The cardomom, cinammon and cloves so fragrant and pleasurable ... Quite a touch of the exotic and extraordinairely pleasant and soothing ... Do not drink at night, as black tea has more caffeine than Espresso ! Drink after lunch or use a de-caf black tea ... Thanks gentlemen. Margi. ------------- Volamos a Mediterraneo, un paraiso que conquista su gente u su cocina. |
