For 2 cups of chai:
In a pot, heat 1 cup water & 1 cup milk.
Add 1/5 teaspoon Chai Masala
Add 2 teaspoons Tea Leaves.
Stir occasionally & bring to a boil.
Strain & add sugar or honey to sweeten
and enjoy!
Prepared chai will have a golden
brown hue. |
For a milder taste, use less
Chai Masala.
Milk may burn if the heat is
too high. Be sure to brew at a medium-high temperature.
Stainless steel or non-stick
pots work well for making chai. They conduct heat well and are simple to
clean.
The type of milk used may vary
from fat-free to homogenized milk, depending on your preference.
For a more intense flavor,
grate fresh ginger into chai as it brews.
|
Store chai masala and tea leaves in a cool,
dark place.
Keep closed to prevent air from
infiltrating.
Use only dry
utensils with chai masala and tea leaves.
Brewed chai can be kept for an hour, but
should be strained immediately to prevent an excessively strong tea flavor.
