Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add water, tea, and sugar and mix well. Once it comes to a boil add milk and spices. Give it a stir and let it come to a boil, but watch it carefully If you’re using dairy milk the milk will simmer up the sides of the pan, when it starts simmering up the side, remove it from heat and stir it. Return it to the heat and simmer the milk up the sides of the pan 2 more times. Strain the chai into your mug and top off with extra milk ( about 1-2 tablespoons) to cool.
