Masala Chai Recipe
This aromatic masala chai recipe is one of India's popular beverages. It requires water, milk, black tea powder, spices, and sugar.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp tea
- 1 inch ginger gated or crushed
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
- 2 green cardamoms
- 2 cloves
- 2 black peppers
- 2 tsp sugar
Instructions
- First, take all spices: one inch peeled ginger, one inch cinnamon, 2 cloves, 2 green cardamom, 2 black pepper in a small mortar pestle.
- Then, crush all of them to a fine powder or paste.
- After that, take a saucepan and add 1.5 cups of water with crushed spices on a medium flame.
- When the water simmers, add 1 tsp of black tea to it.
- Then again, wait until the spiced water comes to a boil.
- After that, add 1 cup of milk to it.
- Then, wait until a rolling boil. It takes 2-3 minutes on medium heat.
- When the rolling boil comes, then again simmer it on low flame.
- Then add 2 tsp sugar to it. I add sugar according to my taste. You can adjust it to your taste.
- Again, simmer it and turn off the flame.
- Lastly, with the help of a tea strainer, pour masala chai into serving cups.
Notes
- I use the water-to-milk ratio of 1.5:1, which is good enough to make a delicious masala chai. You can use 1:1, which is also good.
- You can choose and skip spices according to your taste preferences.
