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.
