Masala tea powder/Chai masala


Intro:-

As I woke on a lazy sunday morning,I saw the balcony of my bedroom totally wet. Yes,it had rained the whole night .I could smell the first monsoon shower and then aroused an intense desire to have a cup of hot piping masala tea.Quickly, I searched for the necessary ingredients,add here they are...

Masala tea powder Ingredients:-


Dry ginger powder-50gms
Green cardamom pods- 25 to 30
Cloves-15
Cinnamon-4 sticks(2 inches each)
Nutmeg powder-1 tsp
Pepper-2 tsp
Dry lemon grass leaves-1 1/2 tbsp

Have all these nearby??? .,Then what are you waiting for,make this for yourself.

Recipe:-

 Dry roast cardamom ,cloves,pepper and cinnamon  in a shallow pan on medium heat for 2 minutes. Grind it into a fine powder along with dry ginger powder,nutmeg powder and dry lemon grass. Store in an airtight container.



Preparing masala tea/masala chai

Ingredients:-

Milk-1cup 
Tea powder(can use either-leaf or powder but not the green tea)-1 tsp and a pinch more if you want a stronger flavour
Sugar-according to taste( I prefer 1 tsp)
Masala tea powder -1/4 tsp
Note: If using full cream milk ,I suggest to  take half cup milk and half cup water,else the tea will taste more of milk rather than tea.
Preparation: Add all ingredients except sugar into a teapot and bring it to boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Strain it into a cup. Add sugar and serve hot .
