Warm Up With Chai Spices

Sign in to review or comment
Have you ever noticed how warm you feel after a sip of hot chai? You are brought into a gently cozy state of mind and are instantly warmed by a pleasant sweet and warmth in your belly. The hot temperature of the tea is only part of the reason for this lovely effect. Spices in chai like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, clove, and ginger warm the body, stimulate digestion, and increase circulation. Many recipes are turned into warming tonics simply by adding these spices. Add them to teas, your hot cereal, soups, stir-frys, and snacks this fall for added nourishment and warmth.

Here are a few examples of chai spices in recipes from Joyful Belly:
