## Summary

How to brew a proper cup of chai from a Teapigs Chai temple: a full boil, a long steep, finished with warm milk and a little honey.

## Description

Chai made with a Teapigs Chai temple is the quick everyday version: no pan of simmering milk, just a good strong brew in the mug. The black tea base and the whole spices, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves and pepper, all want a full rolling boil and a proper six minutes, longer than a plain black tea, because whole spices are slow to give up their oils.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/chai-tea/how-to-brew-a-cup-of-chai/Finish it with a splash of warmed milk, a little honey or demerara, and a grating of nutmeg if you have it. Warm the milk gently rather than boiling it, since boiled milk scorches and gives chai a metallic edge.
