MASALA CHAI RECIPE
Servings: 2-3 cups (depending on the size of the cups you are using)
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon of peeled and freshly grated ginger
- 10 cardamom pods
- 10 cloves
- 10 whole black peppercorns
- 2-3 pieces of cinnamon bark (or 1/2 a cinnamon stick broken up into pieces is also fine)
- 3 teaspoons of loose leaf black tea (alternatively 3 black tea bags are also fine)
- 1 cup of milk of your choice
- 1 teaspoon of sweetener (optional but it does help to compliment the spice!)

Method:
- Pour 3 cups of water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil on low to medium heat
- Add in 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger and let it simmer for 2 minutes
- Crush your spices in a mortar and pestle to form a coarse crumble
- Add the crushed spices to the simmering saucepan, along with 3 teaspoons of black tea, partially cover the saucepan and let it all boil for 4-5 minutes
- Add in 1 cup of milk and boil for another 3-4 minutes or until the milk comes to a boil (once again, partially covering the saucepan). Keep an eye on the saucepan so the milk doesn't boil over!
- Once this is complete, remove the saucepan from the heat, strain the tea through a strainer and serve into cups (or huge mugs if you are anything like me).
- Add in 1 teaspoon of sweetener (eg. coconut sugar, maple syrup, regular sugar, stevia) and enjoy!
