Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Infusion

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water, grated ginger, crushed cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Brew the Tea

    Once boiling, add the loose black tea leaves. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

  3. 3

    Add Milk and Sugar

    Stir in the milk and sugar. Increase the heat and bring the mixture back to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Remove from heat and strain the chai into cups using a fine mesh strainer. Serve hot and enjoy!
