Can anyone suggest a really good chai for this coffee loving gal...

Mmmm vomitous bitter green stuff.....thanks, but no, I'll pass on that! The "problem" with Afghan families is they are so hospitable too. You feel like you have to partake! Although I guess if it's family, it's different?!

I might be wrong but I thought that there was a kind of no tea chai. More like a spicy milky thing. All cinnamon, cloves and honey.

When it's family they try and guilt you into eating the third helping.

I will have a go at a few of your suggestions and let you know if, and when, I break the coffee addiction.

Thanks Onyx, for the explanation...not so much the image of vomitus white chunky tea with a skin...

Some of those recipes sound really nice, I might have to have a go at making my own.
