One of my favorite things to drink when we honeymooned in India was Masala Chai tea. We would have it after almost every meal, like a dessert, because it's so sweet and delicious. Since then, I've tried many different chai teas at coffee shops and while some have been good, I have yet to try one that tastes just like the ones we had in India. How was I going to get that same chai tea again without jet setting half way across the world? Well, I decided to make it at home. And after a lot of tweaking and trying, I think I have found a recipe that tastes almost like the ones we enjoyed so much in India.
Chai Tea Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 black tea bags
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions:
- Place your teabags in a small pot filled with 5 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Once the tea has steeped, lower the heat, remove the bags and stir in the spices.
- Pour 5 tablespoons of condensed milk into your cup, then add the tea and stir until creamy.
- Feel like you've jet setter to India (without the jet lag and expensive flight)...and enjoy! :-)
