Chai Tea - fresh ginger

Method

• put the water, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, cardomom in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
• I usually measure the water according to how much fits in my mug, but remember to leave room for the milk.
• after the spices have been brought to a boil, take the pan off the heat, drop in the black tea bag, cover the pan and let this sit for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
• NOTE: For the black tea itself, I usually buy the individual filter bags of black tea.
• I use Twinnings English Breakfast Tea because it is just plain black tea without other things added to it.
• After the tea has steeped, strain it to get out the loose ginger and cloves and throw away the tea bag.
• pour the tea back into the saucepan, and place the pan over medium-low heat.
• Once you see whisps of steam coming off the tea, you can add the milk and sugar.
• Add as much or as little as you want.
• I usually go for about a tablespoon of milk and two teaspoons of sugar, but this step is up to you.
• enjoy!
