How Do You Make Indian Chai Tea?
It’s not hard to make Indian Chai Tea properly. Indian Tea (Chai Tea) has become popular over recent years throughout the US. Below is a simple guide on how to make your own Chai tea. You can alter how much you use of all of the ingredients (except the tea) to adjust to your taste. I would not recomment using substitutes for any of the ingredients. However, if you are lactose intolerant I would recommend using a vanilla soy milk or rice milk. Under resources there are links for Darjeeling tea leaves for your convenience. Place the cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and the water into a pot and bring to a boil. Once it begins a slow boil, lower the heat and let it simmer for 9 minutes. If you prefer your tea strong, you can add another 1-3 minutes. Add the sugar and milk, stir gently, and then bring back to a simmer. Add the tea leaves, then remove from the heat and cover the pot. Let the tea steep for 4 minutes, then strain the tea before serving.
