Directions

20 min.
1. Step

To prepare masala chai, start by preparing the spices. Lightly pound the cardamom in a mortar so that the aromas can develop better. Break the cinnamon sticks and star anise. Peel and chop the ginger. Do the same with the cloves, simply crush them lightly to create the full aroma.

2. Step

Put all the spices in a pan with the water and bring to the boil. Now you have enough time to look forward to the wonderful aroma slowly spreading through your kitchen.

3. Step

After the water has boiled for 10 minutes, you can add the black tea bags. I prefer black tea because it creates a strong base that blends wonderfully with the spices.

4. Step

Now comes the part you've been waiting for: add the milk. Bring the mixture to the boil again and simmer for a further 5 minutes.

5. Step

Finally, you can flavor the chai with sugar according to your own sweetness preference. If you like, you can also use honey.

6. Step

Strain the mixture through a sieve and pour it into your favorite cups. Voilà! You have your own homemade masala chai.
