This is a wonderful blend, but after reducing the black pepper by half I also had to practically double the cinnamon (I used Vietnamese) to counter the heat from the ginger and cardamom upon testing this.
Thus, I would use equal parts black pepper and cardomom (2 slightly rounded T of each, ground), 1/4 cup cinammon, along with the other spices in the amounts listed above.
In addition, I brewed a strong, black tea with the spice mixture BEFORE adding milk. This seemed to allow for optimal steeping.

This is awful. I just wasted so many beautiful spices making this. I went against my better judgement thinking "this has too much pepper" but added the amount called for anyway. It needs less pepper and more of the other spices. So disappointing. I'm now going to attempt to salvage this catastrophe......

WAAYY too much pepper for me. Other than that, the chai came together quite nicely. I need to get an orange so I can try it that way too. I also like to add vanilla with a touch of sugar. Congratulations on your well deserved Community Pick!
