Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves or tea bags
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 pods cardamom pods
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 3 pieces cloves
- 1 inch ginger (fresh, sliced)
- 5 pieces black peppercorns
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the water, cardamom pods (crush them lightly with the back of a spoon), cinnamon stick, cloves, ginger slices, and black peppercorns.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Add the black tea leaves or tea bags to the saucepan. Simmer for another 2 minutes, letting the tea steep into the spiced water.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the whole milk. Stir gently and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not boil, as the milk may scorch.
Add sugar to the saucepan and stir until it dissolves completely. Taste and adjust the sugar if needed.
Allow the chai to simmer on low for another 2-3 minutes, so the flavors meld together beautifully.
Strain the chai through a fine sieve into mugs or teacups to remove the spices and tea leaves.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the rich, aromatic flavors of Yemeni Chai Adani.
