Chai tea and Spiced hot choc

For some of our Christmas gifts this year we made our own chai tea bags and spiced hot chocolate mix. For the tea bags we used strips of organza, a sewing machine, de-caf black tea leaves, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and chilli. It tastes delicious and is such a refreshing winter beverage. I did two spiced chocolate recipes; white chocolate and ginger and dark chocolate and mixed spice. You melt the mixes into hot milk for a hot chocolate drink that is simply divine. We packaged some of these teas/hot chocs along with monogram mugs to complete a very home made, affordable, fun-to-do, great to recieve (hopefully), christmas gift.
