Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
First, we prepare a masala spice mix. For this, peel the ginger root and grate about 1–2 cm on a coarse grater.
Step 2
Crush the cardamom and remove the seeds, then grind them together with the other ingredients (excluding ginger) into a powder using a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
Step 3
Combine the milk with water and bring to a boil. Add the spices and simmer for 2–3 minutes over low heat. Sweeten to taste with honey or sugar. I usually add a teaspoon of honey.
Step 4
Add the tea (granulated or loose leaf) and simmer on low heat for another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for 5 minutes. Strain into cups and enjoy the wonderful flavor of masala chai.
