Indian tea (Chai)

Indian tea or Chai is my favorite hot drink.

Every morning I need a cup of good tea to start the day energetically.Please follow these steps to make a perfect homemade tea.Remember timing is crucial. Here I am sharing the recipe for you to celebrate having used Kannan Devan tea for the past 26 years

Ingredients

For one tea

Water, 150 ml

Full cream fresh milk, 100 ml

Cardamom pods, 2 nos

Tea powder, 2 tsp

Sugar, 1 tsp

Preparation

You need a Steel saucepan, spoon, strainer and two cups.

Crush the cardamom with a mortar and a pestle. If you don’t have mortar you can grind a hand full of cardamom in a grinder and keep it in a jar. You can use this as you need. 

Combine the milk and water and boil in a saucepan by adding crushed cardamom on a medium flame. When bubbles appear on the sides add tea powder. Once it boils well lower the flame and mix with a spoon; and boil another two minutes. Remove from fire and strain to a cup. Add sugar and pull your tea by pouring it to another cup or sauce pan a few times. Serve into a cup with the foam. Enjoy.
