Zubereitung

1. 1

   Boil water in a pan with five spices, black cardamom, green cardamom, crushed pepper corns, cinnamon & cloves (lightly crush to bring out the flavors).Cover the pan with lid, as to my experience, there is a huge difference in the aroma of tea made covered and uncovered.Bring the water to boil and add Tea Leaves.

2. 2

   Let the tea leaves brew for 4-5 minutes in boiling water.

3. 3

   Add 1/2 cup of milk and sugar to taste at this point & simmer for few minutes.When the tea is done, give it a grace period of another one to two minutes with lid covered, to let the spices lose all their flavor to the chai.Use a strainer to filter the tea into your tea cup.
