JJ - do you like Chai? A buddy from India taught me how to make it - we can get the cardamom seeds from a local international market. I grind them with a mortar and pestle, heat the milk with the seeds, pour it over the strong hot Darjeeling.... and it's mighty tasty! Haven't made it in a while but now that it's on my mind I oughta go hunt down some more cardamom.
WOW, Lisa.....I'm impressed!!

What you just described above is the traditional way of making "chai" (tea). I do it the modern way - chuck a tea bag into a cup of boiled water, add 3 spoons of sugar, a little milk.....and PRESTO!!
