Stovetop Masala Chai

Steps

  1. Bring the water, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and peppercorns to a boil in a small saucepan.
  2. Lower the heat and simmer so the spices color and flavor the water.
  3. Add the tea and simmer until the liquid turns deep brown.
  4. Pour in the milk and sugar and heat until the chai rises up the pan, then lower the heat before it boils over.
  5. Strain into mugs and serve hot.
