Chai Tea

1. 1

   put the water, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, cardomom in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   I usually measure the water according to how much fits in my mug, but remember to leave room for the milk.

3. 3

   after the spices have been brought to a boil, take the pan off the heat, drop in the black tea bag, cover the pan and let this sit for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.

4. 4

   NOTE: For the black tea itself, I usually buy the individual filter bags of black tea.

5. 5

   I use Twinnings English Breakfast Tea because it is just plain black tea without other things added to it.

6. 6

   After the tea has steeped, strain it to get out the loose ginger and cloves and throw away the tea bag.

7. 7

   pour the tea back into the saucepan, and place the pan over medium-low heat.

8. 8

   Once you see whisps of steam coming off the tea, you can add the milk and sugar.

9. 9

   Add as much or as little as you want.

10. 10

    I usually go for about a tablespoon of milk and two teaspoons of sugar, but this step is up to you.

11. 11

    enjoy!
