like most teas. There is an art to making Chai that is best mastered using only the finest, purposefully designed tools I really like the science note too. I was using low fat milk and it just was not as rich and spicy. Mystery solved, thank you! So another science question: why boil it twice? Does it release the flavors more? Also, I have an electric stove that takes a really long time to come to a boil…should I add the tea later so it does not steep too much? Ginger is a must have.Add ginger in water and let it simmer before adding milk, else it can curdle the tea sometimes. I am thinking about gettting growler jars with the final product, milk and all to give as gifts. Would it keep for a week or two? Tea leaves– I prefer Wagh Bakri brand as it has the strong flavor we prefer. You can use tea bags too.
It’s the perfect drink to enjoy cuddled up with a blanket and a good book. Or make a big batch and reheat on the stovetop or in a milk frother on busier days. If you're still learning how to make chai the traditional way, or you're looking for some pointers - watch this video of Uppma showing you how it's done in her own kitchen.
📖 Recipe
The crushed spices are added to a saucepan with water and freshly grated ginger and left to simmer for about 15 minutes. Grating the ginger makes for a stronger ginger flavor. But if gingery chai isn’t your thing, slice instead of grating and/or slightly reduce the amount. What makes an authentic Masala Chai is the use of freshly ground whole spices.Fresh ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves…all the flavorful warm spices. Lightly crush them and add them when boiling water for tea.

Easy step by step recipe for you to learn how to make authentic delicious homemade Indian chai from scratch. 10 minutes is all it takes to make a gorgeous cup of chai for you to sip and enjoy! I have a friend who opened a cyber cafe in India, in 2000. I was very impressed with the facility. It consisted of cubicles with a chai vendor. The "chaiwala" as we called him came around to ask if you wanted a cup of chai. It was more like a "shot" of chai but I can't tell you how tasty that shot was! What region is this recipe from? I'm going to give some of it as a gift to my mother and my best friend, and I was going to include some of the stuff you wrote about in this post… but I was wondering where specifically it's from.Whether you’re taking a moment to ground yourself with a warm cuppa or enjoying a soothing nightcap with your favourite friends, every tea lover needs a T2 teapot in their life. Strain or remove the tea bag — If you’re using a teapot with an infuser, remove the loose-leaf tea by straining the tea through a tea strainer or removing the tea bags from the teapot. You can add any or all of this to your tea. You can also grind and premix some of these spices to make chai masala. Store bought chai masalas are also a great option to start out with. Okay, as much as I love taking shortcuts I do not recommend this. It just doesn't have the same flavor as you would get when the ingredients are boiled together in a pot. So, can you make it-yes. Do I recommend it, no. Can Chai be used to treat illness? Be sure to use high quality tea, spices you like, and steep for as long as you like. A lot of it is just a matter of personal taste more than what may or may not be considered "correct." Swaps and Substitutions
Hi Tanvi Thank you so much for sharing this family recipe! I went to Bollywood in Portland and had the best chai ever…and have been on a mission to find just what I love best. Kshama Aunty: Thanks, I'm so glad you liked the sciency stuff! Since you like them, I'll continue adding the science notes as they are applicable!The end product of this recipe isn’t what I was hoping for. In fact, the appearance was more like the contents of an ill baby’s nappy than the remnants of a fine cuppa. Our chai pots are lightweight and super easy to clean. We do not recommend putting them in the dishwasher. The proportion of each of the ingredients varies from person to person and family to family. The primary ingredients in Indian chai are Milk - I use whole milk for my chai and my water to milk ratio is higher because of that. If you are using 2% milk, I would add more milk and less water or else your chai may end up watery.
