A classic Indian street drink, masala chai is made by simmering black tea with cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger in milk. The slow simmer draws the full flavor of the spices into the milk.
Simmer the water with the cinnamon stick, cardamom, and ginger in a pot for 10 minutes.
Add the black tea and let it steep for 5 minutes.
Add the milk and sugar. Simmer gently over low heat for 50 minutes, stirring often.
Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve and serve hot.
Watch the pot closely while simmering the tea; when milk boils over, it can foam up and spill quickly. Allergen: contains dairy (milk).
