التعليمات

1. Combine all of the spices, and blend well in an electric grinder.

2. Store the powder in a clean container at room temperature; you only need a small quantity for each cup of chai, and a full recipe will keep you stocked full of chai for months.

3. Boil water and milk together in a saucepan.

4. Add sugar, tea leaves, and masala. Boil until the mixture becomes dark (about 5–10 minutes); the longer you boil, the stronger the chai.

5. Strain into teacups to serve.
