Comment préparer

1
Place the water, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and peppercorns in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, until the liquid is golden and strongly aromatic.
2
Add the black tea and simmer for 2 minutes, until the liquid turns a deep amber color. Do not extend this stage substantially, or the tea may become harsh.
3
Pour in the milk and add the sugar. Stir gently, return the mixture to a steady simmer, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the chai is uniformly tan and steaming but not boiling over.

4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chai rest for 1 minute so the foam settles and the flavors round out.
5
Strain the chai through a fine-mesh sieve into two warmed cups. Taste carefully and add a little more sugar if desired; serve immediately while hot.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Boiling the spices in water extracts their flavor before the tea and milk are added, creating a concentrated, rounded base without over-brewing the black tea. A final brief simmer marries the tannic tea with the creamy milk and sugar.

Conservation et réchauffage

Comment la conserver

For best flavor, serve immediately. If necessary, refrigerate strained chai in a covered container for up to 2 days.

Comment la réchauffer

Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming, stirring occasionally; do not boil vigorously, as the milk may scorch or separate.
