Wish you all a very Happy National Chai Day. My mother and my sister are the best tea makers I know. Both religiously make tea twice a day and their cups are consistently strong and with the right amount of sweetness with the hint of masalas that wakes up the senses. Dry ginger is available in root form. Finely grind it to use in the masala. My preferred tea is Girnar Royal and Wagh Bakri.
Ingredients:
Tea Masala
100 grams Dry ginger powder
25 grams Cinnamon powder
25 grams Black pepper powder
25 grams Cardamom powder
Tea
3/4 cup Milk
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons Strong leaf tea
1/2 teaspoon Tea masala
Bring the water and milk to a boil. Add the sugar and masalas and let it continue to boil. Now add the tea and boil till it the tea is dark colour. But do not boil it for more than 2-3 minutes else the tea loses its freshness. As soon as the tea is ready, cover the pot to seal in the fragrance.
Strain and serve! My favorites with tea are toast, biscuits and rusk... How do you enjoy your cup?
