Description

A simple step by step method to making the most delicious Karak Chai, tried and tested for perfection. 

Ingredients
  • 5 Teabags (or 4 teaspoons of lose tea)
  • 7-8 Cloves
  • 6-7 Cardamom Pods
  • 3 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 1/2 tsp crushed Ginger (or 4 small chunks)
  • 4 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Condensed Milk
  • Pinch of Saffron
Instructions
  1. 1

    Start by putting everything in a small pot, apart from the milk.

  2. 2

    Let everything boil on low heat for 30 minutes, until you can see the tea becoming strong, almost black. Boiling everything for as long as I did really enhanced the flavour!

  3. 3

    Add the milk and boil for another 10 minutes on low heat, before draining the tea through a drainer, to get all the tea leaves and spices out.

  4. 4

    Serve up and enjoy :)
