Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon loose black tea
  • 1 teaspoon grated or pounded ginger, fresh
  • ½ teaspoon chai masala
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Method
  1. In a saucepan, add water and heat until simmering.
  2. Add in the fresh ginger and chai masala and bring to a rapid boil for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add loose tea and boil for about 3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the milk and adjust heat to medium, allowing flavors to mix well, simmering for about 5 minutes.
  5. With a deep ladle, pour the chai back and forth repeatedly into your pot from a height. This process makes your chai thick and frothy while adding extra aromatics. Repeat a few times.
  6. Remove from heat. Put your strainer/sieve on your cup and put ½ tablespoon sugar in there. Pour chai through strainer. Repeat for the second cup.
  7. Mix gently and enjoy hot.
