Notes

  • Let the decotion be thick to get thick masala chai.
  • If you want your tea to be a little thin then reduce milk to 1/2 cup.
  • Use freshly crushed ginger, cardamom for more flavour.
  • Add milk only after the tea decotion is boiled well.
  • Usually I use cane sugar / brown sugar for tea , coffee but you can use replace it with regular white sugar too.
  • Serve masala chai piping hot to enjoy the full flavours.
