For a great cuppa chai ...

Chai (Indian Tea)

This is what we're drinking litres of every day! It's a strange world when a cup of steaming hot spicy tea is what you really want in near-40 degree heat! Have a go yourself by following this recipe we came across -

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 plain tea bags (Do not use green or other specialized variety)
  • Spices: 3 pods of cardamon, ½ inch cinnamon stick, ¼ teaspoon ginger, 2 cloves
  • Sugar to taste (essential!)

Preparation

  • Boil everything except tea and sugar on the medium heat for more than few minutes.
  • Add tea bags and boil until desired colour (i.e. strength) of tea.
  • Add plenty of sugar.
  • Serve hot.
