Need to Warm Up? Try This Mumbai Spiced Chai

Biju Thomas, author of Feed Zone Table, counts this as his single most favorite beverage from his childhood home, India. Treat yourself with a cup of warm chai after a cold run for a cozy warm-up. The spices used and the strength of the tea vary from region to region, but the basics of a good chai are simple: a strong black tea (Assam, Ceylon, or pekoe), your favorite milk, and a touch of sweetness. From there you can add in any number of spices that make you happy.
