Indian Masala 'Chai' Tea!

[Guest guest]

Masala Chai (Tea), an aromatic spiced tea, has been the Indian drink of choice

for hundreds of years. It is the perfect blend of freshly ground spices (chai

masala) like cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom and pepper, added to a

boiling pot of loose leaf tea and milk to make a delicious, satisfying and

healthy beverage.

 

 

To make chai for 2 you will need:

 

2 cups water

 

1 cup whole milk

 

2 teaspoons any unflavoured Tea leaves OR

2 tea bags of unflavoured tea

 

2 " piece of fresh ginger

 

2 Green cardamoms crushed

 

1 small cinamon stick.

 

Sugar to taste.

 

Method:

In a pot boil the water and milk together. When it comes to a boil add 2

teaspoons of tea leaves. You can make it stronger if you want. Do not use green

tea as it will not give you the color. Add the ginger, cardamom and cinamon

stick. Reduce the heat as the tea rises up and tends to boil over. Boil on

simmer for 3 minutes until the flavours are released. The tea should become

golden brown in color. Take off the heat. Strain the tea into a tea pot. Add

sugar to taste. Serve hot.
