Mix all ingredients, then simmer and let brew for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and brew another 10-20 minutes more, depending on how spiced you like your tea.
For a milder tea flavor, replace one of the tea bags with an apple cinnamon herbal tea bag, and use only 1 cinnamon stick.
Tea is best served with milk and sugar.
The spice mix can be used for 2x the recipe if longer brewing time is used.
Leftover chai can be refrigerated for iced chai, or to be reheated later.
