Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 2 teaspoons or bags Black tea leaves or tea bags
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Sugar (optional, to taste)
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 4 pods Cardamom pods
- 3 pieces Cloves
- 1 inch Fresh ginger (thinly sliced)
- 4 pieces Black peppercorns
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods (lightly crushed), cloves, black peppercorns, and sliced ginger.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the spices simmer in the water for 3-4 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the black tea leaves or tea bags to the saucepan and simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the tea to steep.
Stir in 1 cup of milk and bring the mixture back to a gentle boil. Watch carefully to prevent the milk from boiling over.
Add sugar to taste (optional) and stir until dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the chai through a fine-mesh sieve or tea strainer into a teapot or directly into cups.
Serve the chai hot and enjoy its aromatic goodness!
