Time 10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

6 cups water
7 teaspoons tea leaves
6 cups milk
10 -15 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

Heat together water and tea leaves in a 3 to 4 quart saucepan.
Boil 10 minutes. Add milk and heat to near boiling. Strain leaves. Add sugar to taste.

Tips:

Use freshly ground spices for the best flavor. Grinding your own spices just before using them will release their essential oils and give your chai a more intense aroma and taste.
Use a variety of spices to create a unique flavor profile. Common spices used in chai include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. You can also experiment with other spices, such as star anise, fennel, and black pepper.
Start with a small amount of spices and adjust to taste. It's easy to add more spices, but it's difficult to remove them if you add too much.
Simmer the chai for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer you simmer the chai, the more intense the flavor will be.
Serve the chai hot or cold. Chai can be enjoyed hot on a cold day or cold as a refreshing beverage on a hot day.

Conclusion:

Chai is a delicious and versatile beverage that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you like it hot or cold, spicy or mild, there's a chai recipe out there for you. So experiment with different recipes and find your perfect cup of chai.
