1 1/2 cups water2 bags of chai-spiced tea*
2 green cardamom pods
1 banana
2 pints french vanilla ice cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 generous pinch of nutmeg
1 tbsp. cinnamon
Bring water almost to a boil, add cardamom pods, steep tea bags for 5 minutes. Cool tea. Remove cardamom. Add tea and remaining ingredients to a blender and combine. Pour into a glass, sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Results: Next time I'll use milk instead of water to make the tea so the smoothie stays creamier. I made this one up as I went along. The vanilla extract and cinnamon are key to this smoothie's flavor. It's a bit flat without. Yum!
*Chai means tea but what Americans think of as chai is a sweet spiced tea (usually with sugar, cardamom, cinnamon & pepper).

Yep!! LOLOL. When my Pakistani friend told me that I was like............... really?? Lol
