(29,414 posts)21. Okay, and I probably won't remember any of that ;)
I was only referencing how Americans confuse things and then add part of the definition onto the original word as if they can't remember that little bit! Such as ATM machine.
I have a recipe at home for chai, given to me by someone that had worked at a yoga center. An India woman made chai every day for the center, so that's probably why my recipe makes two-gallons at a time
Let me see if I can remember it, as I haven't made it in a long while.
2 bags of green tea
2 bags of oolong tea
three sticks of cinnamon
1-inch of fresh ginger root
40 peppercorns
30 clove buds
20 cardamom pods
8-qts of filtered water
Brew tea in the water and discard bags.
Simmer remaining ingredients for two hours over low heat.
Makes 8-qts.

I put it in my coffee in the morning and sometimes on cereal at night for dessert
