Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer gently for 2 minutes to allow the tea to steep fully.
Add 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and return to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for another minute. The milk will help create a creamy, rich texture.
Remove from heat and strain the chai into two cups through a fine-mesh sieve.
