1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 whole clove
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon lemon zest
1 black tea bags
3/4 cups heavy cream

Mix the water and spices together and bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer and add the tea bags.

Allow to steep until desired strength is achieved.

Add milk and bring to a simmer. Reduce to ½ cup.

Allow to chill before using.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1 large egg -- beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chai tea

1 large egg -- beaten
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) with rack in center of oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with a non-stick vegetable oil. To make the glaze, mix together the beaten egg with the cream. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry blender, two knives, or fingertips. This mixture should look like coarse crumbs. In a small measuring cup, combine the chai tea, beaten egg and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the liquid, stirring with a wooden spoon until the batter forms moist clumps. The batter will be sticky. Do not over mix.
