I haven’t been drinking much tea in the evenings. I was so overheated each day on my walk home from the train that hot tea was the furthest thing from my mind — even after I cooled off in the air conditioning! Now that the weather has cooled and I’ve been having breezy, pleasant walks home, the craving for evening tea has returned.
I had made an apple cake (http://notwithoutsalt.com/2012/10/21/chopped-apple-cake/ – easy and delicious, but I bet it would be just as good with only 1/2 c oil and 1/2 c sugar and half the salt) and thought this chai would be lovely with it — it was :) Very cinnamon-y and sweet-spicy. Flavorful enough to eat with cake. Wonderful with a little honey and milk. In fact, I have every intention to repeat this same exact combination this evening. Perfect.

Mmmm… That looks delicious!
inguna — it really is :) I got some large honeycrisp apples at the farmers’ market, and one apple was enough to make this cake. I can’t wait to have some more tonight — but then, alas, it will be gone :(
That sounds a lot like my Mom’s apple cake recipe, which I guess I will have to break down and learn to make myself, since her kitchen days have ended :( Around Thanksgiving and Christmas, she used a little less apple and stirred in candied fruit. Million times better than commercial fruitcake.
gmathis – that sounds delicious! I was going to put some candied ginger in it — and now I regret that I didn’t. Next time :)
