Masala Chai

What I used:

Tea Leaves : 2 tsp
Cinnamon Stick : 1" piece
Cloves : 4 nos.
Cardamom : 4 nos.
Ground ginger : 1/2 tsp (or can use fresh grated ginger)
Fennel seeds : 1 to 2 tsp
Water : 1/2 cup
Milk : 1 1/2 cup
Sugar : as required

How I did:

• Using a mixer grinder, grind all the spices except tea leaves to a coarse powder. This powder can be made in large quantities and stored for future use.
• Bring water to boil in a saucepan,  add the spice powder, tea leaves and sugar to taste and lower the flame. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes and strain.
• Serve hot.
