I'm so happy I found this. Ive been wanting to find a good chai recipe for years. Im a cable tech and a customer of mine, an Indian lady, served me the most amazing cup of tea I had ever had in my life. Chai of course. And since that day I've wanted to learn to make it. I just did it and I was so surprised at how good it came out. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
we are thai but my late father loved making this for me and i loved drinking it. this tastes very similar to his chai, and it reminds me of him every time. thank you so much.
you should always first simmer the black tea in water first by 2 minutes max and then filter out the tea leaves, because it will leave a very strong bitterness to it if you dont, separate the milk process from the water process (milk with spices, tea with water), then mix them together! the flavor will be wonderful, also try to crush the ginger root a bit, which will enhance the flavor!
Just one suggestion- if u like ginger flavor / strong tea, you can crush the ginger with cardmom in the pestle and mortar at the same time. This helps ginger juice to dissolve faster in the tea.
I think you are addicted to the sugar as much as anything else...... A good quality Darjeeling or other good quality loose leaf tea is divine. NB The more oxygen in the water, the better the taste. The tea pulling doesn't only cool the tea down. It also increases the oxygen content, thereby at the same time maximising the taste potential. Freshly boiled water makes better tea than double/triple boiled. That's why the instructions usually say 'freshly boiled' water.
I used to constantly drink spiced chai lattes but I've recently had health issues, this recipe has nothing in it that i can't have so it's going to be my go to when i can't have spiced chai thank you so much!
I’m looking to make chai because I swear that the spices help with my migraines. I always go out and get a chai when I have one, and it always works. And the warmth helps me too. 😁
Drink cup of hot turmeric milk or milk with dried dates powder at night.add just the cardamom powder and little sugar. It will help your migraine.tried and tested age aold Ancient Indian remedy.God bless you and heal you
I have these ingredients at home already so will give it a try. Also picked up a new trick regarding tea pulling, which is great because I don't have a fancy milk frother at home. Thanks for an informative and succinct recipe 👍
As a kid, more than 45 years ago i would make a hot tea similar to this recipe. My grandma let us drink coffee with milk often, seen my Dad drink the same. But, me? I experimented black tea, cinnamon stick peices evaporated milk or whole milk, sugar, nutmeg and sometimes a leaf or two of fresh mint. Mind you all i had prepared this for myself starting around age 8 or 9 yrs old. I seen NO tea recipes on t.v. nor in any magazine or cook book. I was just a simple curious little poor farm girl who was not allowed to watch much t.v. and hardly ever had books at home other than Dad's encyclopedias us kids weren't allowed to touch. Grrrrr geshh father!!! I loved cooking shows on Saturday like Julia Child's show. If we were luck enough to use the t.v. set, if our antenna worked that day for whatever channel...hardly ever watched any cooking shows because with all my sibling raising their hands to watch Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman or some lame cartoon they won t.v. time over my ONE hand ✋ I don't know why i would start creating drinks and snacks that others in my Mexican (Mex American) and Arkie (Mom's from L.R. Arkansas) mixed household did NOT like. More for ME!! Like i never liked plain Kool-Aid. There would have to be something added other than sugar. Lemonade: freshly squeezed lenon pulp. Orange: same and fruit punch had a punch to it by adding lots of fruity goodness. Oranges--Strawberries and fresh cherries. I need to try THIS Indian Tea! Reminds me of my childhood and i ain't even Indian/ Asian.
Tried this today and I did not have any brick milk so I mixed 3 1/2 tbsps to 240ml of water. The final result was quite good but I think it would be better for me to add more tbsps of milk to make it less watery and more creamy. But thank you for the recipe! I loved it.
I also just found Chai Five Tea Co. It’s a traditional loose leaf but no need to grind spices, as it’s blended with organic spices already. I absolutely love it!
Hi Anita, I cannot begin to express how grateful I'm to you for this recipe. I have literally looked everywhere possible for a good Indian milk chai recipe but failed to do so. I made this chai, it took me back to my hometown Kolkata. I was making chai completely the other way round all this while. But your recipe is a sure shot success. Thank you so much for sharing it. God bless you. Regards, Anu
one tip: We prefer to add milk in the end. let the tea leaves, sugar, and other spices boil in water and then top it off in the end by milk and let it boil again... This will enhance the taste and also avoid curdling of milk.
Dear fellow Indian/south Asian. It used to be the same for me. Then I came to US for my undergrad. Now, as I don't live in an apartment, the only tea I get is iced tea in the dining court. Big change and yet, it's manageable.
I was watching narcos second season on Netflix my family is out of the city I'm alone in the home so I decided to make a tea and came across to your video dear and I add all the stuff together don't know what will be the product it's on 🔥 fire let's see it will be drinkble or not 😥😥😥😥😥 now I got to know sugar must add at 1:50 lol. I did the same of damal red light dek raheee hai. Me: Han dapa deya yt; ek engine band hogaya.. After 10 minutes I'm drinking it it's outstanding dear thanks for your awesome video aiyeahhhhhhh...
Altered the recipe a bit ; because of ingredients I had , got a bit to much honey ; I use an earl grey tea bag , allspice and half an half milk . I look forward to trying it with cardamom. I tell you this was awesome ; pumpkin spice lattes has nothing on this , with half the sugar .
This is not the best recipe. Anita is stupid. Add honey, not sugar. Buy a chai mixture at your local tea shop, it will include cardamon, cinnamon, ginger, pepper...
To make broth, my simple fun way: Pour the tea in sealed glass jar, shake vigorously for a few seconds, froth is game! Love this tea pulling method, great concentration and focus
Thank you so much for this recipe! I don’t drink coffee for pleasure and this past winter I have not been able to drink hot chocolate no matter how I made it or which chocolate or milk I used. It was too harsh on my stomach. But all the chai tea mixes and bags I bought tasted like watered down tea with no spice. This recipe has saved me! Now I have something I can enjoy and savor when it’s cold out! And as a bonus the ginger is soothing to my stomach. I also use coconut milk. Yum!
Chai is literally the only tea I like. I don’t like the taste of other teas because I feel like they taste of branches and leaves lol but this tea is so good
Ma'am i would like to advice adding milk after you have boiled the tea leaves, cardamons and ginger in water. In my experience i have found it having a better flavour than boiling it along milk and ill also likt to advice that you crush ginger too.
"After you try this Chai, it’ll be really hard to go back to a cup of water and a tea bag." 💯💯💯
Masala Chia is even better.
@@VSM101 What's it made of?
@@atlas00017 Tea, milk, ginger, cinnamon, sugar, cardamom and other herbs and spices
Lol
It's lovely I've never had tea so nice

Wonderful 😁
Same here: also a cable tech that was given the best tea of my life. The reason why I’m watching this video was me looking for the recipe of the tea.
we are thai but my late father loved making this for me and i loved drinking it. this tastes very similar to his chai, and it reminds me of him every time. thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing 😀
Just imagine this chai and pakoda
In the rainy day ..... 😍
Life is beautiful.....
🌧☕️ Sounds good!
You steal my thought. Nevertheless, first come first comment policy is good 😇
Yes
Aw lol you’re so cute
That sounds good
Indian Tea the best ever 😍😍😍💖
😀
@@AnitaCooks I would love to make it, but could I find herbs, without using a pestle and mortar?
Hah yes..and the one who is making this tea looks aromatic
Gordana Zakula Yes taste will almost be the same I am woman from Punjab India :)
Leandro Avi she don’t even know how to make real Indian tea lmao

“Chai” is and Urdu and Hindi word for “tea”. Chai tea legit translates to “tea tea ”
You dont say: ”chai Tea” you just say chai
Sebastian Chohan ya ik but when people say chai tea it translates to “tea tea”. That’s what I’m trying to say
Sarah K yes😀 i ment to Otter people not you☺️
Chai it’s not an Indian word.
theo grill eeeeeh yes it is. The name is ”chaay”
Just one suggestion- if u like ginger flavor / strong tea, you can crush the ginger with cardmom in the pestle and mortar at the same time. This helps ginger juice to dissolve faster in the tea.
👍
Yep, it helps the flavour seem more vigorous,
Tip: smash it in the same pot that you will boil ur tea in that way you don’t lose any flavour 🙂
Man I made it I really love this tea, addiction at another level!!! Can’t go back to black tea without milk!
👍😁
Also try coffee made with milk and sugar.. Please dont use instant coffee.. you will love it..!
I think you are addicted to the sugar as much as anything else......
A good quality Darjeeling or other good quality loose leaf tea is divine. NB The more oxygen in the water, the better the taste. The tea pulling doesn't only cool the tea down. It also increases the oxygen content, thereby at the same time maximising the taste potential.
Freshly boiled water makes better tea than double/triple boiled. That's why the instructions usually say 'freshly boiled' water.
P.s. I meant to say Darjeeling etc plain (NO sugar or milk) is divine.
I went to India and they made me tea all throughout the day and I was so obsessed. I hope this is the recipe
Is it the recipe? Just curious. 😄
The recipes vary throught the country. Also, they depend on the tea powder
I absolutely loved Chai Five Tea Co. Best traditional chai I’ve ever had. So authentic and it’s organic. So delicious!
As an Indian many thing here is wrong (not ingredient ) but process
Had my first chai recently, and I was hooked. Love this tea❤
Enjoy 😋
Never tried something Indian
But chai is very very tasty, love it
I used to constantly drink spiced chai lattes but I've recently had health issues, this recipe has nothing in it that i can't have so it's going to be my go to when i can't have spiced chai thank you so much!
Glad you can have this chai! 😀
I subscribed too 😁
👍
Sugar ?

Thanks so much ! I just came back after a 4 months trip to India and I really miss it. You made it so simple, I am so going to do it now
tea tea
Tried it, and stuck to this way of making tea. Everyone at home loves it!
I never knew making chai is this easy and simple! Thank you so much for this video 🥰
I recommend grinding the ginger as well... that way it gives a good flavor to the tea.
You can also add a pinch of nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon also !!!!
Nutmeg and spice cloves are a must for a tasty Indian Chai 🤤😋
I love Indian Punjabi style tea, when I go to India - Now I know the trick.... Many thanks.
Enjoy 😀
I have these ingredients at home already so will give it a try. Also picked up a new trick regarding tea pulling, which is great because I don't have a fancy milk frother at home. Thanks for an informative and succinct recipe 👍
We found the frother yesterday 😂
no wonder Amazon closed the account then 😂 Amazon roof cover anybody?

It's not chai tea, it's either chai or tea

Don’t forget: Spot loves chai tea too
Just made it and it's AMAZING!!!
In Poland, we also add cinnamon and cloves.
Best regards 😊
We use that too. It will be good if you add all the ingredients especially if you are sick. Its amazing

Hi Anu, happy you enjoyed the chai 😀👍
Men risked their lives traveling the globe for spices; thanks!
Use a spoon to skin the ginger to keep more of the root!
I never get used to peeling ginger...
one tip: We prefer to add milk in the end. let the tea leaves, sugar, and other spices boil in water and then top it off in the end by milk and let it boil again... This will enhance the taste and also avoid curdling of milk.
that's right! you make a tea concentrate then you dissolve it, much brighter taste this way!
I have been wanting to make this for a while. And here I am this morning drinking this delicious soothing tea. Thank you😊
My pleasure 😊
"I love chai tea"
What did you just say..?
Chai means TEA!! Your saying TEA TEA! What would I ask you for a cup of coffee coffee with a top of cream cream?!
@@mcstudioproductions3512 "no.. no"
I love my spiced tea, makes me want to go in my kitchen at 11:00 pm in the night and make some lol, Great video.

Thanks for sharing 😀
Not only that, but the procedure that you suggest prevents the milk from curdling, which can happen when milk comes in contact with fresh ginger.
Thank you for this video Anita
You’re so welcome 😄
She started “pulling” the tea and my brain was like. Yep. She’s a god

Just made tea from this recipe and it turned out so good. Thank you☺
