Zubereitung von Masala Chai Tea
- Gently crush 2 whole cloves, 4 green cardamom pods, and 1 inch cinnamon stick using a mortar and pestle. (No need to pulverize; just crack them open)
- In a small saucepan, combine the crushed spices, 2 cups of water, 1 inch piece of grated ginger, and 6 whole black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat, cover, and let the spice mixture steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and 2 teaspoons of sugar (or to taste). Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring to a simmer. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tea bag (or 1 teaspoon loose leaf black tea).
- Cover and let the tea steep for 3 minutes to allow the tea leaves to infuse.
- Strain the chai through a fine-mesh sieve into warmed mugs or a teapot. Enjoy!
