Tea Time – My version of Chai “Latte” (Masala tea)

A while ago when I was not feeling so well, a dear friend (Selma, if you’re reading me… ;-)) advised me to make a tea, and watch a good movie. So I followed her idea, and made myself a burning comforting spiced tea. I generally like to have a tea whenever I want to relax.  I thought I’d share with you my favorite tea recipe for those special moments : the famous chai “latte”

So here’s my recipe :

First put some water in a saucepan. Add in 2 or 3  cloves, sliced fresh ginger or half a coffee spoon of ginger powder, another one of pepper powder, one more of cinnamon and 4 crushed cardamom seeds. Let it boil for few minutes. Then add a tea spoon of black tea. Stir gently and cover the saucepan. Let it infuse for 3 mins then filter the tea, pour it into another saucepan and add some milk and sugar as you like it. Stir until it boils and voila ! Your chai is ready !

Hope you enjoy it !
