If you're just going for flavor, 6 little bits/pieces would be fine. Really, there are no rules with the recipe - it's very flexible and adaptable.erin scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10504510097858204407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205639805681286189.post-64799361216324820352018-01-04T05:22:13.181-08:002018-01-04T05:22:13.181-08:00Is a “piece” of anise an entire star?

You can use loose tea mix rather than tea bags for the same recipe. In India most of the households use loose tea only :)<br /><br />PS Erin: try adding a medium or small size Bay leaf in the contingent of spices you use for your masala chai... Tastes awesome.Prapti Banerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09107240895821539837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205639805681286189.post-71947732816336160042013-01-14T15:11:10.344-08:002013-01-14T15:11:10.344-08:00Hi Melissa, I don't happen to have a brand of ...Hi Melissa, I don't happen to have a brand of chai I like, that's why it was so fun to actually make my own. You could make a version of this recipe with water instead of milk and it's good unsweetened as well. I think you can also just play with adding real spices to your Twining Chai.

As in a loose tea mix that I can keep? I'm finding that I love it,but am diabetic and trying not to have too much sugar and losing weight, so can't have every cup a latte. I can buy a Twinings Chai and Vanilla tea. But it can only be bought 10 bags at a time (it's not that cheap, though I wouldn't mind paying), but I'd like to spice it more, it's a little too mild.
