SpicenEasy's Simple Masala Chai

• Prep Time: 2 minutes

• Cook Time: 8 minutes

• Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ tsp SpicenEasy Ground Cardamom

• 2 cups water

• 2 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)

• 3-4 tsp loose black tea (e.g., Assam) or 2 tea bags

• 2-3 tbsp sugar, honey, or sweetener to taste

• *Optional: 1 cinnamon stick, 3-4 whole cloves, ½ tsp ground ginger*

Instructions:

1. Brew the Spices: In a small saucepan, combine the water, milk, SpicenEasy Ground Cardamom, and any optional spices. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

2. Infuse: Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let the spices steep in the milky water for 5-6 minutes to build a deep, aromatic base.

3. Add the Tea: Add the black tea to the pan. Simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to over-boil, as this can make the tea bitter.

4. Strain and Sweeten: Remove the pan from the heat. Strain the chai into mugs through a fine mesh strainer.

5. Sweeten to Taste: Stir in your preferred sweetener until dissolved.

6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your fragrant, homemade Masala Chai hot for the ultimate comforting experience.

Chef's Tip: For a stronger cardamom flavour, add an extra half teaspoon. The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility—adjust the spice levels and sweetness to create your perfect personalised chai blend. For an iced version, let the chai cool completely and pour over ice.
