Smoked Chai

Chai with a campfire in it. Black tea blended with ginger, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper, with an earthy, smoky finish that feels like sitting by the fire with a mug in your hands. Brew it strong, stir in a little maple syrup, and top it with steamed milk for a smoky chai latte. The smoke comes from Lapsang Souchong, a pine-smoked black tea in the blend.
