'Masala Chai' is not just a tea, but a brew. Unlike Western tea-making where leaves are merely steeped, here the spices and tea are boiled together (decoction) to extract every flavour compound into the fatty medium of the milk. Cardamom and ginger provide freshness, whilst cinnamon and cloves offer a warm base.

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Place the water and spices (cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, ginger) in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Tip: Hard spices need time and heat to release their aroma into the water.
2 ✓

Add the tea leaves and boil for another 1 minute.

Tip: The tannins in black tea make the drink bitter if boiled for too long.
3 ✓

Pour in the milk and sugar. Bring back to the boil until the milk froths up.

Tip: The fat content of the milk absorbs and 'rounds off' the flavour of the spices and tea.
4 ✓

Strain into cups immediately.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the tea bitter?
You boiled the tea leaves for too long, releasing tannins. You can boil the spices for a long time, but add the tea only at the end.
