INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the water, tea, masala, cardamon, and 1 tsp of the sugar in a large
saucepan and simmer over low heat for 5 min. Add the milk and the rest of
the sugar. Add the ginger 1-2 min after that, or when the mixture returns
to a simmer. Wait for 15-30 seconds, then strain the tea into 2 cups.
Note: tea masala is a prepared spice mixture of ground black pepper, ground
cardamon, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon. It is available at most
Indian food markets or you can create your own, depending on your taste.
Variation: to make Chai I without milk and sugar, combine the water, tea,
masala, and cardamon in a large saucepan and simmer over low heat for 5
min. Add the ginger, wait 15-30 seconds, then strain the tea into 2 cups.
