Preparation Steps

Boil water and spices

In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the grated ginger, crushed cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Add the black tea leaves to the saucepan and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes, depending on how strong you like your chai.

Incorporate milk and sugar

Pour in the milk and add sugar to taste. Stir well and bring it back to a boil.

Strain and serve

Once it reaches a boil, remove from heat and strain the chai into cups. Serve hot.
