Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- ½ cup water

- 1 teaspoon tea leaves
- 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[edit | edit source]
- 1 saucepan
- 1 tea cup
- 1 strainer
Procedure[edit | edit source]
- Add all the ingredients to the saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, and let simmer for no more than a minute, unless you like a stronger tea taste.
- Strain the mixture into a cup.
Notes, tips, and variations[edit | edit source]
- Milk-like beverages 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.
