When the weather turns cool in the fall, my favorite beverage I like to drink is Masala Chai. It's warming, soothing, energizing and delicious.

Here is my version of masala chai using green tea in place of black tea to decrease the caffeine. It's delicious without the green tea too.

Sit down and enjoy a cup of health!
