Spicy Milk Tea

From , former About.com Guide

A recipe for chai tea, with extra milk. Not all chai recipes call for black tea. Using green tea will change the flavour entirely, making it fresh and bright.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tbs green tea
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 1/2 ground ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 cups water

Preparation:

Boil water, then simmer with cinnamon, ginger and cloves for about 10 minutes. Add tea and steep for another 5 minutes. Add milk and heat until near boiling. Strain out the spices and tea leaves. Serve chai with a bit of honey.
