THÉ A L'INDIENNE OU MASSALA CHAI

Today, I decided to give you my receipe of the indian tea so called « chai massala ».

Chai massala is known all around india. People have an habit to drink it all day long. With the sweet or salty lassi, I would say that it is the most famous drink in India.

Eventhough the chai is very simple to make, there are lots of different receipes and I’ll give you today my version of the indian tea.

Personnaly, I like it tasty and not really sweet. Most of the indian people I met like it very very sweet, so the firt time I tasted this speciality, oh my god, I almost choked it !

Please find below the ingredients for two tea cups :

2 cup water

1 cup skimmed milk

2 tea spoons of white sugar (don’t use sweetener because you will not be able to taste the flavor of the tea, I tried it and it was a disaster)

2/3 thin slices of Ginger depending of your taste

2 green cardamoms

1 pinch of cinnamon

the receipe :

Put on high flames 2 cups of water in a sauce pan and add step by step 2/3 slices of ginger,2 green cardamoms, and a pinch of cinnamon. Make it boil for three minutes and then add  two tea spoons of white sugar.

Stir the preparation for 5 minutes.

Then add the cup of milk and stir for 5 more minutes. If you like it very gingery then stir for 5 more minutes.

Use a filter, and serve your chai into two different cups.

You chai is ready !
