Method

  • step 1

    Heat the milk in a saucepan over a very low heat. Empty the contents of the tea bags into the pan, then add the cracked cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, nutmeg and cloves.

  • step 2

    Sweeten with light brown soft sugar to taste (chai tea should be sweet, but use less if you like), then leave to infuse, but not boil, for 10 mins. Strain into mugs and enjoy.

Really, really delicious and flavoursome. I used loose Yorkshire Tea leaves, and tripled the quantities to make six cups. It goes really well with the 'vintage chocolate chip cookies' recipe. I used 9 tsp of light brown soft sugar (3x3, as I tripled the quantities), which I found was the perfect…
