Como fazer Masala Chai
- Gently crush the cardamom pods. Combine the cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pods, and cloves in a piece of cheesecloth or a reusable spice bag. Tie securely with kitchen twine.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the spice bag and 5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the water.
- Add the black tea leaves to the simmering spiced water. Steep for 2-3 minutes, or to your desired strength.
- Remove the spice bag from the saucepan.
- Add the milk to the spiced tea. Heat gently for another 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat. Stir in honey and vanilla extract (if using).
- Strain the chai through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs to remove the tea leaves. Serve hot, or chill and serve over ice. Enjoy!
