Not enough peanut butter flavor for me, I love peanut butter and I love chai. I believe this is a good chai, but that isn't was I was expecting so I will need to try this again expecting a chai and not peanut butter and see if I enjoy it then.
Also perhaps a shorter steep time, and steeping one cup at a time might help with the peanut butter flavoring.
I need to give this one another try as it has promise.
Post-Steep Additives: German rock sugar
really the same, I should have perhaps also done a bit of milk
