Recipe: Oregon Chai

I think the link no longer works 'coz the original site has been updated, it's now www.sni.net/chai instead of www.greywolf.com/chai
I discovered this a few days ago when I was thinking about trying out the recipe. Do let us know if the recipe's any good! My husband is addicted to the stuff and $8 a box every week or so gets expensive...
