• 4 black tea bags, or 1/2 cup loose black tea
• 2 cups whole milk or half-n-half
• 1/3 cup sugar (If Desired)

Tools:

• 1 Pot
• 1 Mesh Strainer
• 1 Tablespoon
• 4-5 Cups

Add two cups of water and 3 teaspoons of loose black tea in the pot and let it brew on medium-high.

Once it comes to boil lower to the heat to low and add 2 cups of whole milk. Also at this time if you would like add the desired amount of sugar but no more then 1/3 cup.

Turn the heat back on to medium-high temp. and stir as it heats. At this time you can add the cardamom pods to the steaming brew.

Use the mess strainer ass you power the chai onto the cups so all of the loose tea and pod shells do not mix up with the steaming brew.
