Thanks Thoughtful!

It doesn't quite match what a friend of mine showed me...he lets it come to a boil and cool down and boil again and cool down about 2-3 times or more before serving. Otherwise it's very similar...he says fresh grated ginger is required.

1 1/2 large cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 tsp. graound cardamon
1/3 tsp. powdered ginger (optional)
1 tsp. whole fennel seeds
2-3 whole cloves
1/3 tsp. mango powder (amchoor)

Mix water and spices in saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer; add tea bags. Let steep until desired strength. Add milk; simmer. Add sugar and strain into cups.

We're having turkey tomorrow of course, but I'm posting this Czech duck because it looks delicious, and no one cooks duck as well as the Czechs do:

3914 - We used to drink what is now called "chai" back in the early 70's ...we called it "Russian Tea" which is in fact what "chai" is not though it happens to be the Russian word for tea

So Jen keeps telling me.

Local apple grower has closed for the season, but not before we got a basket of mutsus or crispins.

If you haven't tried them, they are a little bit of heaven on earth...one of the best apples I've ever tasted.

Thanks for the tip, I love trying new apples!

Have you ever had winesaps? An old variety, but my fave.

3926. robertjayb - 1/2/2007 9:31:55 PM

I'll look for them. We've been going through honeycrisp and jazz.

3927. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 1/2/2007 10:53:11 PM

Winesaps are goood! I like a tartish apple with the benchmark being Macouns at the top of their season.
