Masala Chai

Milk tea flavoured with aromatic spices.

  cup Milk
 4 cups Water
 4 tsp Tea powder
 2 Cardamon pods
 4 Peppercorns
 5 Cloves
 Sugar to taste

1

In a mortar pestle crush cardamom, pepper, and cloves and keep them aside.

2

In a pan, bring the water to boil. Add the tea powder and the spice mix prepared. Don’t forget to watch out for the gorgeous deep colour seeping through the water.

3

Take it off the heat after it comes to a rolling boil and keep it aside for few minutes. The tea powder normally sinks to the bottom making it easier to strain it.

4

Strain and pour the decoction into four cups. Add milk and sugar to taste.
