Beautiful!
The spice mix smelled heavenly! Accidentally added too much ginger but it was still delicious.

Amazing Chai!
Just tried out the Chai, my wife and I both loved it. We had to make a couple of small changes, instead of English breakfast tea, we used 2 standard tea bags, and instead of 9 cardimom pods, we used 1 teaspoon (maybe a little more) of ground cardimom. The results were fantastic. Just like you'd get at a cafe! Thanks for the recipe.

Al dente

Al dente, literally "to the tooth", does not mean sticking to the tooth, rather that the pasta provides a little resistance when you chew it. The only way to tell is to taste the pasta as you cook it - don't rely on the packet instructions.

Beans

Beans (frijoles) - Pinto and Black turtle beans are the main types. Black turtle beans are used to make refried beans.
