Indian Masala Chai Recipe

Yield: makes two cups

Ingredients:
• 1½ cups of water
• ½ cup of milk
• 2 heaping spoons of loose-leaf black tea
• 1” piece of fresh ginger root, grated (or ½ tsp of
powdered, dried ginger root)
• ½ tsp of chai masala (or ¼ tsp cardamom powder,
¼ tsp cinnamon powder, and two whole cloves)
• Sugar to taste (or substitute with honey, raw sugar,
or coconut palm sugar)

Directions:
1. Pour the water in to a saucepan and place on
high heat.
2. Add ginger and chai masala.
3. When the water begins to bubble, add tea leaves
and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
4. Add milk and bring to a boil once again. The
longer you boil it, the stronger the brew.
5. Take the pan off the stove, cover, and let it sit
for 2-3 minutes.
6. Pour into cups using a stainless-steel tea strainer to
keep the leaves from spilling into the cup.
7. Stir in sugar or honey to taste.
