Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes

Ingredients

For 1 serving:

• ½ cup water
• ½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon tea
• 2 teaspoons sugar OR 1 packet artificial sweetener (adjust according to taste)
• Dash of chai masala (a little more than a pinch depending on your taste)

Equipment

• 1 Pot
• 1 Tea cup
• 1 Strainer

Procedure

1. Take a pot, add all the ingredients listed above. Bring to a boil, let simmer for no more than a minute, unless you like a stronger tea taste.
2. Use a strainer and pour tea into cup.

Notes

• Milk like beverages (for example, Hood Milk Beverage) can take the place of milk.
• Most ordinary supermarket teas are okay. You can also go to an Indian store.
• Adjust the milk/water quantities to your taste.
• When water comes to boil, you can add some grated ginger, a pinch or two of powdered cinnamon, or fresh tulsi leaves.
• To make a stronger tea: boil around ¾ cup water, add sugar and tea, turn off the flame, and cover the pot with a lid. Strain the black tea into a cup, and then add hot milk to taste.
