CHAI TEA
Serves 4
10 minutes preparation
7 minutes cooking
Ingredients
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 2 green cardamom pods
- 1.25 litres water
- 2 cloves
- 1 teaspoon black tea leaves (or 2 teabags)
- 2–4 cm piece ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) milk
- grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder, to serve
METHOD
Using a mortar and pestle, lightly crush the cinnamon and cardamom (or gently tap them with handle of a large knife or rolling pin).
Place the water, spices, tea, ginger and honey in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer for at least 5 minutes – longer if you want a stronger flavour.
Add the milk, then heat for another 2 minutes; be careful as milk can easily boil over.
To serve, strain the tea into cups and top with grated dark chocolate or cocoa powder.
