A sweet, creamy, and fragrant drink from South Asia. It’s often called chai latte or chai tea latte.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups water
1 cup whole milk
1 1/2 tsp. black tea leaves
1–2 cardamom pods
Sweetener
Steps
Boil water in a saucepan (high heat).
Add tea leaves and cardamom pods. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Add milk and increase back to high heat. Watch the liquid carefully and remove the pan from heat before it boils over. Using a ladle, scoop and pour back the liquid to help make it frothy. Do this (removing pan and scooping) several times. The longer you repeat this, the more liquid evaporates and the stronger the chai.
Strain through a sieve and serve with desired amount of sweetener.
