Homemade Masala Chai

Directions

1. Bash all the spices (minus the ginger) in a plastic bag with a rolling pin — or if you want to be classy about it, you can always use a mortar & pestle.
2. Place all your ingredients — milk, water, spices (with ginger this time), tea, and sugar — into a large pot.
3. Cook on med-high until boiling, then simmer for 5 minutes or until the milk has turned a milky-brown colour, like cafe au lait.
4. Strain & sip!
