Tea Masala

Spiced Chai Tea

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups water
• 2 Cups milk
• 2 Tablespoons black tea leaves (Assam or Darjeeling)
• 2-3 Tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 Teaspoon Roopak's Tea Masala
• Optional: Ginger (freshly grated or sliced) for extra spice

Instructions:

• In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
• Once the water is boiling, add the black tea leaves and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
• Add the Roopak's Tea Masala and sugar to the saucepan. If you like your chai to be spicier, you can add freshly grated or sliced ginger at this point.
• Stir the mixture well and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
• After the tea has simmered, add the milk to the saucepan. Stir well.
• Let the chai come to a gentle boil and then reduce the heat to low.
• Allow the chai to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Once the chai is heated through and well-infused with spices, remove it from the heat.
• Strain the chai into cups or mugs using a fine mesh strainer to remove the tea leaves and any spices.
• Serve hot and enjoy your delicious spiced chai tea!
