I think the type of tea I meant was masala chai. I've seen it made in youtube vids, but it looks like lots of bother. Just adding the mentioned spice mix to strong, milky tea seems to have a similar effect because the mix contains many of the same spices.

Char used to be commonly used in the UK for tea: "fancy a cuppa char?" especially by northern working class people. I think the term is far less used now.

Amazon's quickly flashed up comment when I tried to re-write the review suggested they thought I had a connection to the company. I don't.

I've seen powdered chai on sale on Amazon but none of it is decaffeinated!
