Indian Masala Chai
Who doesn't like a nice hot cup of masala chai on a cold winter day or if you are like me then I would say all year around. I'm a huge tea lover. Holding a nicely made cup of tea makes me happy. The below recipe uses lots of spices but you can a make a variation by only using ginger that would be ginger tea or you can only use cardamom.
Water to milk ratio all depends upon personal preference some like their tea with less milk and some with half water and half milk. I prefer my tea with less milk and you can always workaround with water to milk ratio as per your taste.
Ingredients
1 tiny piece of cinnamon
1 clove
1 green cardamom
1 small piece of ginger
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup milk
