Chai with Prerna

Today's recipe

For 1 cup:

1/3 cup water and 2/3 cup 1% milk (If using skim milk, just use 1 cup skim milk)

boil on stove in pot with

1 tsp Taj Mahal Tea Powder per cup (or 2 tea bags per cup. they are weaker)

Add the following spices while boiling

1 clove (crushed up) per cup

2 pinches cardamom powder

1 small slice of fresh ginger (2 slices if you LOVE ginger)

OR... instead of all the spices, use 2 pinches of tea masala

Boil that til you get the right color. (whick is kind of a nice tan. Think Carribbean for about 3 days with proper sunscreen.)

Strain into your cup using a nifty tea strainer.

Add sugar to taste.
