Chai Tea

Blend a mixture of the following in a large pan, steep in simmering water for about 10 minutes and remove spices. (you can also add black tea but I don't, to avoid the caffeine) You can add hot milk or sweeten with agava nectar, honey or Stevia.

Fresh ginger (peel and slice)
Fresh turmeric (this is hard to find, try Asia markets)
Whole cloves
Star anise
Cinnamon sticks
Green cardamon pods
Whole black peppercorns
