Beginner Chai Tea Recipe

Post by ChrissyV »

Nothing too exotic, so this is a great choice for the beginner chai maker.


4 tsp loose tea, usually black, strong kind
1 piece of dry ginger
3 cardamom pods, crushed
3 whole cloves
1 piece of cinnamon stick
Milk (Non-Fat, Low-fat or Soymilk) and sweetener to taste


Chop up ginger into fine pieces, and break up cinnamon stick.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then add tea leaves and all the spices.
Let everything brew at boiling for 30 to 45 seconds. Remove from heat, then let steep at room temperature for another minute.
Strain out the tea and pieces of spice.
Serve hot and fragrant, with only a touch of milk or sugar.
