Chai Tea

Directions

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.

    enjoy!
