    "excerpt": "A proper stovetop chai: a turmeric chai bag simmered in milk and water with cardamom and fresh ginger, then sweetened with honey.",
    "content_text": "A chai bag is fine steeped in a mug, but it comes alive simmered on the hob the traditional way. Drop the bag into a pan with equal parts water and whole milk, add a couple of crushed cardamom pods and a coin of fresh ginger, and bring it to a gentle simmer for five minutes. The simmer pulls far more from the spices than steeping ever does.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for the Stovetop Turmeric Chai recipe.
