Instructions

  1. Add water to a medium saucepan and keep it on medium-high heat.
  2. Add tea and ginger and bring it to a full boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for two minutes.
  3. Add milk and bring the tea to a full boil on medium-high heat. Turn the heat off or allow it to simmer on low heat for another two minutes. Additional boiling time will make stronger tea.
  4. Using a strainer filter the tea into two cups. Add sugar, honey, or sweetener of your choice. Enjoy hot!

Notes

  • Tetley British blend tea bags can be used instead of loose tea
  • Boiling the tea for a long time after adding milk makes it stronger or "kadak"
  • You can reduce the amount of water and add more milk instead for creamier chai
  • I prefer to skim or low-fat milk but feel free to use regular milk, soy milk, etc
  • You can also add sugar along with the tea or add it to taste in individual cups
  • Depending on the quality and freshness of the ginger you may need to add more or less. Start with 1 teaspoon per cup and then add more if needed. I usually add 1½ teaspoons per cup.
