How to Make Awesome Chai Tea
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pods, cloves, sliced ginger, and peppercorns.
- Add 4 cups of water to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the spice mixture steep, covered, for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the mixture back to a gentle simmer.
- Add the 4 tea bags and let steep for 3-5 minutes, or to your desired strength.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully strain the chai tea through a fine-mesh sieve into another saucepan.
- Return the strained chai to the saucepan. Add brown sugar and milk.
- Heat gently over low heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the chai is warmed through (do not boil).
- Serve immediately. Enjoy hot or pour over ice for an iced chai.
