Somehow, autumn creates a desire for things more "spiced" than what I prefer in the spring or summer. Spices "warm" and become very much a part of the "comfort" of the colder months. Spiced pumpkin pie, spiced molasses cookies, and spiced tea! One such tea is chai, which comes in many forms. Commercially boxed, in large paper cups from a local coffee shop, or homemade from a home kitchen --- chai is sure to warm the heart and hands. Here's a recipe for homemade chai that I think you'll enjoy.
Spicy Chai Tea for Autumn
2 cups boiling water
2 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
3 peppercorns (optional)

4 cloves
optional-- shaved orange or lemon rind, fennel or licorice
1/2 cup almond or soy milk
125 ml nutmeg powder
honey or stevia to taste
Pour boiling water over spices in a saucepan, simmer 5-10 minutes. Add milk, simmer another 10 minutes. Pour through a strainer into cups. Sweeten with honey or stevia and sprinkle on a little nutmeg, to taste.
