I would be happy to. This is the recipe we used:

3 Tablespoons green cardamom seeds (or about 1 1/2 T powdered)
1 Tablespoon whole cloves
1 Tablespoon whole black peppercorns
2 four-inch cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons powder ginger root

Grind the spices with a mortar and pestle, or in a coffee grinder. Toss
mixture with one cup of black tea leaves.

We boiled 50/50 water and milk, removed from heat and steeped the chai
mixture for five minutes. A few teaspoons of sugar made a very nice cup.
The black pepper was quite strong in this recipe, so reduce to your taste if
desired. I still wonder if steeping the tea in milk is proper and hope
someone else can answer.
