Add all the spices and the water to a medium sized sauce pan.
2

Boil for 3-5 minutes or until the tea is as strong as you'd like
3

Strain the spices from the liquid and add brown sugar to taste ( this step is optional, I prefer mine without sugar, but some prefer the added sweetness)
4

Add the milk and pour the liquid into a jug. Spread among 6 cups to serve.

(optional) on warmer days, iced chai is really refreshing. simply add ice cubes to the cups or refrigerate for about 30-60 minutes.
