## Summary

How to make proper stovetop chai: tea and fresh spices simmered in milk, the authentic Indian way.

## Description

Real chai is not a teabag in hot water; it is brewed on the stove, with the tea and spices simmered right in the milk so everything mingles. Using a Classic Chai bag as the base, you add a couple of crushed cardamom pods and a coin of fresh ginger to lift it from a flavoured tea into something that tastes properly homemade. Keep it at a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil, and sweeten it at the end with a little honey.
