5-Minute Masala Chai

Ingredients

  • 2 cupsfiltered water
  • 2 tsploose Assam tea leaves
  • 1 cupwhole milk
  • 1 tbspjaggery or sugar, to taste
  • 4 podsgreen cardamom, lightly crushed
  • ½ inchfresh ginger, grated

Chef's Note

Use our tri-ply saucepan on low heat — the bonded aluminium core prevents the milk from catching while the ginger's oils bloom evenly.

Method

  1. 01

    Bloom the aromatics

    Set a tri-ply saucepan on low heat. Add water, ginger, and cardamom pods. Let the aromatics bloom for a minute — you should smell the ginger soften.

  2. 02

    Add the tea

    Raise the heat to medium. Once the water just begins to bubble at the edges, add the tea leaves and jaggery. Steep for 90 seconds.

  3. 03

    Pour the milk

    Pour the milk in slowly. Drop the heat back to low. Let the chai rise once, pull it off, let it settle, then rise again — this is the classic two-rise method.

  4. 04

    Strain & serve

    Strain through a fine mesh into warmed cups. Serve immediately with a square of dark chocolate or a buttered rusk.
