Oh delicioso!
You were taking me far away and I could almost smell the spices steaming in the milk!
My husband use to make a wicked chai when he was courting me, now he makes a lovely hot chocolate with the wonderful cardamon!
I wasn't aware of all the benefits that came with this rather exotic spice - thanks for sharing!
I think I'll look for some ashwanghwa when I'm in the city for the holidays and try your Christmas Cardamom Chai recipe
