Famous Recipes - Chai

"Chai" is the Hindi word for tea, derived from the Cantonese "cha," so the "Chai tea" seen on may restaurant and coffee shop menus is redundant. Spiced teas are found all over India and Southeast Asia, and every region and every cook has their own favorite version. Use this one to begin your experiments.

Chai

3 sticks cinnamon 12 cardamom pods 1/2 whole nutmeg, grated 3 whole cloves 6 whole black peppercorns 2 tea bags (English Breakfast is excellent) 1 cup (250 ml) milk or soy milk (or less to taste) Sugar to taste

Place all ingredients except milk and sugar in a saucepan. Add 4 cups (1 L) of water. Cover and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce heat and simmer 10 to 20 minutes.
