My daughter, laney, has filled an entire shelf in our pantry with teas: green, black, herbal, white, oolong, chai, and on and on. To reclaim a little shelf space, I decided to brew some and add the reduction to a basic batter. After much experimenting, I discovered that a chai tea latte mix made the best madeleine. These have a rich, mellow flavor and give off a wonderful aroma.
