Tips
- Always take the milk from the fridge and let it sit outside.
- Boil the water before adding any other ingredient.
- It is VERY IMPORTANT to crush the ginger, do not grate it.
- In hot climates, add some fennel to the chai. This will help cool you down.
- In cold climates, add some black pepper or saffron. It helps when you have a cough or a cold.
- Add the sugar with the tea leaves, if you want a strong tea.
- Do not use cold milk or tea, you can also put some hot cinnamon and cardamom powder to give it that final aroma.
