How to Make Aarti's Party Chai Tea
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick (3 inches), 4 green cardamom pods (lightly crushed), 2 whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 inch of thinly sliced ginger.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
- Add 4 teaspoons of black tea leaves (Assam or English Breakfast recommended).
- Remove from heat and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on desired strength. Steeping for longer will create a stronger brew.
- Strain the tea mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher.
- Stir in 2-4 tablespoons of honey (or to taste).
- Add milk to your liking (approximately 2 cups, but adjust to preference). Stir well.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Aarti-style chai!
