2. Put black tea leaves and spices in a sauce pan (or you can put all these in a teabag like me). Add the water and bring to boil, let it simmer for 10 minutes (medium to high heat), until tea looks really dark/concentrated. If you are using normal tea bags, use 3 or 4. The tea needed to be strong as you will add a lot of milk later..
3. Add in milk, and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes until tea look reduced..
4. Turned off the heat and pour your masala chai to a mug with a strainer..
5. Add your sweetener of choice and adjust to your liking (I am using brown sugar). Enjoy your fresh brewed masala chai tea..
6. Note: Add more milk and less water if you want a richer/creamier taste. Or add less milk and more water if you want it less richer/creamier. I haven't tried it with plant based milk, but I am sure it should be fine too..
