Chai Latte

Chai is a traditional East Asian tea drink that is blended with spices and milk. It's one of my favorite tea drinks and perks of living in international communities in the U.S.

Serves 3 (8oz.) Mugs or medium size

5 green cardamom pods, split

3 cloves (optional)

1 3/4 cup water

2 black tea bags

1 cup whole milk

2 tbsp. sugar

Directions

In a small sauce pan, bring the water and cardamom to a boil for 10 min. Make sure you cover the sauce pan so the water doesn't evaporate. Drop the tea bags in the water and boil for another 10 min.

(I do this to get a strong cardamom taste)

Add the milk and SIMMER for 10 min. Saucepan covered.

(Tip from the aunties, the more you boil it the better 🤷‍♀️)

Add your sugar and mix then strain into mugs!
