Masala (chai) Tea Preparation
Preparation Instructions
Combine all ingredients except milk and sweetener, and boil for 10 minutes. Strain. Add the hot milk, and mix, with your choice of honey or brown sugar.
Helpful Hints
Place the ground cardamom in a tea bag, or muslin bag, if you don't want cardamom sediment in your chai. The Spice House offers muslin bags to hold all of the spices and tea for less overall sediment in your chai.
The Spice House Ecuadorian Peppercorns are a nice addition to this recipe, but will make the chai very peppery-hot.
Substitute rice or soy milk for a vegan beverage.
