How to Make Herbal Chai Tea
- Roughly crush 1 tablespoon of each chosen herb and spice (see ingredient suggestions below).
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Add the crushed herbs and spices to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a mug or teapot.
- Stir in milk and honey to taste. Serve hot.
- (Optional) For a refreshing iced chai, allow the brewed tea to cool completely. Add honey to taste and serve over ice, garnished with thin lemon slices.
