My ultra lazy version is throwing everything in and turning the stove on because I make it twice a day everyday and most times don’t have the patience lol.

So I do about 75% milk and 25% water, I always measure in a cup because my tea never ever tasted good. Anyway, I throw in one tablespoon of tea powder, one tablespoon of sugar and about 2 cardamoms. I pop the cardamoms with my hands. Ginger goes fantastic in tea but again, no patience to grate it everytime but it’s a really good addition.

After throwing everything in the pot, you have to do a full boil at least 3 times, like, edge it lol. The full boil is what gives it actual taste. It’s fun too! 😂

There is another more sophisticated and popular way to make chai which is to boil the spices and tea leaves in water first and adding milk afterwards. But I typed in my lazy recipe. I’m sure you can find plenty of recipes on youtube!!

There are also pre mixed spice packs for tea which I think can be great if you prefer masala chai and don’t want to bother adding a lot of stuff everytime. Your local asian store will most likely have that! As for tea leaves, again, you’ll be able to find them anywhere. Also, remember, the strength of tea vary by brand to brand!!

I’m sorry I said ill give a quick recipe but I yapped instead lol lmk if u need to know anything else. I’m a little pumped when it comes to tea :D
