1
Boil the Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add Spices
Once the water is boiling, add the grated ginger, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Allow the spices to simmer in the boiling water for about 5 minutes.
3
Add Tea Leaves
Stir in the black tea leaves and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. This will allow the tea to steep and the flavors to meld.
4
Add Milk and Sugar
Pour in 1 cup of milk and add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir well and continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chai to become rich and creamy.
5
Strain and Serve
Remove the saucepan from heat. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the chai into cups to remove the spices and tea leaves. Serve hot.
