this is a classic indian masala chai. i would venture to say half a billion people are drinking some version of this every morning. and for good reason - it is super delicious! Ingredients:
2 cups water |
3 -5 cloves |
1 cinnamon stick, crushed |
2 -3 cardamom pods, crushed |
1/4 cup sugar or 1/4 cup sucanat |
1 cup milk |
2 tablespoons black tea leaves |
Directions:
1. put the water on the stove and add spices, bring to boil.
2. cover and let simmer for few minutes.
3. add sugar or sucanat (whole ground sugar cane-like jaggery) and milk, stir.
4. bring back to just barely boiling (watch pot, milk will bubble over).
5. add tea leaves, cover pot, remove from heat.
6. steep for 5 minutes.
7. pour through filter to remove spices and tea leaves.
