Indian Tea (chai) Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Boil Water

   In a medium-sized saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Add Spices

   Once the water is boiling, add the grated ginger, crushed cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Allow this mixture to boil for about 5 minutes to extract the flavors from the spices.

3. 3

   Add Tea Leaves

   Next, add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves (or the equivalent of tea bags) to the boiling water. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Milk

   Pour in 1 cup of milk into the saucepan while stirring gently. This will create a creamy texture and add richness to the tea.

5. 5

   Sweeten the Tea

   Add 2 tablespoons of sugar according to your taste preferences. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

6. 6

   Strain and Serve

   Finally, strain the tea into cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves and spices. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade chai!
