Thick and Creamy Chai

My mother's recipe for the perfect cup of chai blends together the richness of cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger brewed into a thickened milk tea.

Ingredients
  

  • ΒΌ cup water
  • 3 cardamom
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 tsp grated ginger
  • 3 tsp tea leaves
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • sugar to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, boil the water, spices, and tea leaves. Then add the milk and allow to cook until it reaches a full boil, reduce the fire and simmer for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't boil over.
  • When it reaches a warm brown, remove from the stove and strain out the pieces. Add your preferred amount of sugar and serve warm!
