Indian Masala Chai - Refreshes your day

Ingredients:

1. Tea Leaves - Any tea powder, I use Red Label
2. Milk
3. Sugar
4. Cardamom Seeds or green Cardamoms - 3
5. Ginger
6. cloves

This procedure is good for making tea for 4

Masala Preparation:

Powder Cardimom seeds (if you are taking whole cardimom seeds, take 3; if you are using the seeds then take around 1/4 tea spoon), and cloves (around 2-3)
Grate a small piece of Ginger.

Procedure:

Tea should be prepared with a consistency of half cup water, and half cup milk.

So, take a measurement cup and fill it half with water. If you are making 4 cups of Tea, then you take 2 full cups of water, and put it in a non-stick bowl. Add 2 table spoons of Tea powder,and heat the water at a med-high temperature.

Once the water starts boiling, add the grated ginger, and the powderd cloves, and cardimom seeds. Now, take the same cup with which you measured water, and add 2 cups of milk.

Constantly stir, and once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to med-low, and stir it for 5 minutes. Depending on how strong you like, you can keep it to boiling. I usually stop it when the Tea turns normal brown color, and don't boil it much as it tastes bitter.

Now add 2 1/2 tea spoons of sugar, or as desired depending on how sweet you like, and filter the tea with a Tea Filter, and server it for 4.

Your India masala chai is ready!!! Very Refreshing after a hectic day!!!!
