My Chai

[kentauros]

I received this recipe from a friend on another board years ago. She got it from a sweet little Indian lady that would make it every day for the yoga center where they both worked.

It's a very simple recipe and wide open to adjustments. You can pare it down, too, if you don't have a 10-12 quart stockpot.

When I make it (which isn't as often as I'd like) I keep it in one-gallon apple-juice jugs in my refrigerator. It keeps for a very long time, though I'm sure some of y'all won't let it last that long ;)
