Yogi Tea/Chai recipe

Here's my favorite yogi tea (to make chai with).  I got this recipe from my yoga instructor while taking classes at UAA eons ago.

Hope you enjoy it!

Yogi Tea
Boil: 2 quarts of water with the following: 16 whole cloves, 16 whole cardamom seeds, 3 whole cinnamon sticks, 16 whole peppercorns, 6 slices fresh ginger root. Rolling boil covered for 40+ minutes. Add 1 or 2 black tea bags and steep for one or two minutes. 
Strain tea and refrigerate until use.

To make chai: heat yogi tea and add milk or cream and honey to taste.
