• 300ml water
• 200ml whole milk
• 2 tsp strong black tea
• 4 cardamom pods, crushed
• a thumb of ginger
• 1 clove
• sugar to taste

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Crush the cardamom and bash the ginger. Bruising releases the oils — whole spices just give you coloured water.
2. Boil the spices in the water for 3 minutes.
3. Add the tea leaves and boil 2 minutes more.
4. Add the milk and sugar, bring it to the boil and pull it off the heat — three times. That repeated rise is what gives chai its body.
5. Strain into cups from a height.
