I don't know about a "Slashdot omelet," but I've been enjoying this recipe for Slashdot chai [superflippy.net] for years now. I haven't been able to find the original comment I copied it from, but to that long-lost Slashdotter who posted the recipe in the first place, thanks for the many cups of spicy chai I've enjoyed.

Chai is a spiced tea, generally associated with Indian cuisine. It is basic black tea with milk and honey or sugar.
That's: Milk * (Honey + Sugar)
But what makes it so good is the (traditionally indian) spice blend: cinnamon, clove, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper.
To make 2 latte mugs worth:
Pour 1.5 latte mugs worth of water into a small sauce pan. Add two 2" cinnamon sticks, 6 whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 4 green cardamom pods, and a few grinds of black pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat, covered, for 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sugar and 2/3 latte mug of milk, stir well, and return to a near-boil. Turn off heat. Now add 3 or 4 black tea bags, cover, and steep for about 7 minutes. Strain into your latte mugs and enjoy.
A beverage to go with that omelet (Score:2)
