On cold rainy days I find myself craving this delicious chai tea which I learned from a great Indian friend of mine.
All you need is:
Grind the black pepper corns, dried ginger, cloves, star anise, mace, and cardamom pods to a powder and store in a tightly closed jar in a cool and dark place.
The Tea
To a sauce pan, pour the milk and water. Add 1 table spoon of the masala (made above) and bring to a boil. once it boils, add the tea leaves, stir and simmer for 2 minutes. Add sugar to taste. Strain and serve.
This tea goes very well with chocolate cookies, ginger cookies, brownies, chocolate cakes....well, basically anything you like.
