1
Prepare the Spice Mix
In a small bowl, mix together the turmeric powder, freshly grated ginger, and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
2
Boil the Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
3
Add the Tea and Spices
Once the water is boiling, add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) and the prepared spice mix to the pot. Add the cinnamon stick at this stage as well.
4
Simmer the Mixture
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
5
Add the Milk
After simmering, add 1 cup of milk to the saucepan and stir well. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture back to a gentle boil.
6
Strain and Sweeten
Once it reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the chai into cups using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves and spices. Stir in honey or your preferred sweetener to taste.
7
Serve
Enjoy your warm and aromatic turmeric chai immediately. Optionally, garnish with an additional sprinkle of turmeric or a cinnamon stick.
