For two cups of chai:



One cup water, one cup almond/soy/rice milk.

Two cardamoms.

Dash of cinnamon.

Black tea. This is the amount for one cup. So put two of these small handfuls. My favorite tea is from Assam. Darjeeling tea is very nice as well. If you don’t have tea leaves you can just rip up a bag of Melrose’s and use that. Every black tea will do.

Don’t forget love.

Stir gently and put on full heat.

Be ready with a teaspoon and sugar. Don’t put it in yet, let it heat up.

Small bubbles will start to appear and now you should be prepared to throw the sugar in.. but wait for it, the tea will suddenly reach a breaking point and blow up like a volcano.

There she blows! Quick! Throw the sugar in to soothe it! One teaspoon, two teaspoons. Well done.

Now let the volcano blow it’s foamy lava almost all the way to the brim of the pot. Then take hold of the pot and lift it away from the stove so it cools down and the foam disappears. Be careful, it can easily spill over and make a mess.

When it has cooled down put it back on the stove and let it fill with foam again. Repeat this three times.

Now remove the pot from the heat and let it cool a bit, stir fast for about 30 seconds.

Use some kind of filter to pour through, this is what I use but anything that filters will do.

Enjoy.
