Chai is brewed with milk and a mixture of spices. Each recipe can be different depending upon the spices used. The word chai literally means tea (different languages use various forms of this word - for example Portuguese call it cha, Hindus call it chai, and in Chinese the sound of the symbol for tea sounds very much like cha.)

Turn your bag of Chai upside down a few times, since during transit the spices can settle at the bottom of the bag.

Fennel Seed is a common herb used to promote good digestion, and ease gas and bloating.

Fennel is included on the Food and Drug Administration's list of herbs generally regarded as safe. But because of its estrogenic effect, pregnant women should avoid medicinal amounts of the herb.
