- Toast the spices. Place the cinnamon, peppercorns, cloves, and cardamom in a small saucepan over medium heat and toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Step 2
- Brew the tea. Add the water and ginger and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Step 3
- Steep the tea. Remove from the heat and add the loose-leaf tea or tea bags. Cover and steep for 10 minutes.
- Step 4
- Sweeten the tea. While the tea is still warm, add the sweetener and stir until combined or dissolved.
- Step 5
- Strain the tea. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher or teapot. Discard the spices and tea leaves. Store in the refrigerator for future use, or keep it warm while you froth the milk.
- Step 6
- Froth the milk. For whole milk, froth the milk by shaking it in a jar or by whisking it vigorously over medium-high heat. For non-dairy milks, use an immersion blender to froth before heating.
- Step 7
- Heat the milk. Heat the frothed milk in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.
- Step 8
- Serve. Pour 3/4 cup of the warm tea base into each mug. Add 1/2 cup of warmed milk and stir to combine. Top with a heaping spoonful of milk froth.

Ingredients:
- 1 inch of cinnamom stick
- 2 inches of ginger
- 4 cardamom pods
- 4 cloves
- 4 cups of water
- 4 teaspoons of Darjeeling or Assam tea leaves
- Sugar (to taste)
- 1/2 cup of milk
- Nutmeg
- Mint leaves
How to cook:
- Start by preparing the blend of spices. In a mortar, place cinnamon, peeled ginger root, cardamom pods, and the same amount of cloves. Use the pestle to grind them coarsely.
- In a saucepan, place 4 cups of filtered water and put it on the stove. Once it comes to a boil, add the spice blend and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- If you'd like, you can add mint leaves or nutmeg at this point. Then, add sugar, depending on how sweet you want the tea. About 1 teaspoon of sugar per serving is how we like it.
- Add the black tea and boil for a minute or up to 2 minutes if you want a stronger Chai tea.
- Next, add 1/2 cup of milk. If the milk is out of the fridge, cook for 2 more minutes; add it and turn off the stove if it's hot.
- Strain the tea directly into your cups and enjoy it right away. Or pour strained tea from up high to your cup to cool it and froth it up ever so slightly.
Chai Latte
It's more about choosing a good brand than a recipe. But here's the authentic way you would find it at an Indian restaurant. You can steam the milk first if you have an espresso machine or a milk steamer.
