I’ve been making it this way since I was little. I believe it is quite simple.

For 1 cup of Chai:

Add 1/2 cup water to a sauce pan, on medium heat.
When water begins to boil slightly, add 1 regular ole’ tea bag.
When tea bag gets wet, and the tea dispenses into the water and turns it a reddish brown, add 1/2 cup milk, turn heat to low.
Watch it carefully, as this is the messy part.
Once it starts to boil up, blow gently to ease it down, and remove from the heat. Don’t forget to turn the stove off.
Pour the tea quickly into the cup and add sugar/sweetener/spices to your liking!
Increase the servings for larger amounts.

That’s it. That’s how I’ve done it for about 15 years. I’ve never had a complaint as to the taste, so, many thanks to my parents for teaching me how to make it!

For those on the low carb diets (no milk and sugar), you can substitute 1/4 heavy cream mixed with 1/4 water for the 1/2 cup of regular milk.
