Masala Tea / Chai


There is nothing as tasty as Masala Tea on a rainy day. Serve it with vada / bonda or banana chips or kadachakka chips and to quote The Carpenters - 'rainy days and mondays' will never get you down.


To make 2 cups
Ingredients:
Water - 1 cup
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Ginger - 1 inch slice
Cardamom - 2 pods
Mint leaves - 6 (optional)
Tea dust - 1 tbsp (Preferably 'strong' variety , do not use tea leaf)



Method:
Pound the ginger and cardamom together.

Boil the water and milk together with sugar, ginger, cardamom and torn mint leaves (if using).

Add the tea and reduce flame. Simmer for 3 -5 minutes until you nearly reach the desired color. It will darken further while resting.

Cover and keep aside for further 2 minutes.
Strain into another vessel.

Serve hot with your favorite snack.
