The Steaming Cup

Condensed milk makes this a very rich version of chai

A traditional spiced tea (or chai) recipe. It’s rich and creamy, and spiced just right. Add as much honey as you like for some extra sweetness.

• 4 cups water
• 8 tbs loose black tea
• 8 whole cloves
• 1/2 pint condensed milk
• 1/4 tsp cardamom, ground
• 1/2 tsp ginger, ground

Heat water to almost boiling, and steep tea leaves for 5 minutes. Strain out tea and add remaining spices. Simmer for 7 or 8 minutes. Strain again. Add condensed milk and sweeten with honey.
