👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the spices: Lightly crush the cardamom pods using the flat side of a knife or a mortar and pestle. Peel and thinly slice or grate the ginger. If using optional spices, prepare them as well.
⏱️ 2 minutes
2
Infuse the water: In a small saucepan, combine the water, crushed cardamom, ginger slices, and any optional spices. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to release their fragrance and flavor into the water.
⏱️ 3 minutes
3
Add tea and milk: Add the black tea leaves and sugar to the simmering water. Stir briefly. Immediately pour in the milk. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Watch closely to prevent it from boiling over.
⏱️ 1 minute
4
Simmer and develop flavor: Once the chai begins to simmer (small bubbles forming around the edges, but not a vigorous boil), reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the tea to steep and the flavors to meld. The chai should deepen in color to a rich brown.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes
5
Strain and serve: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully strain the masala chai through a fine-mesh sieve into two mugs, ensuring all the tea leaves and spices are caught. Serve immediately while piping hot.
⏱️ 1 minute

💡 전문가 팁

✓Simmer gently: Avoid a rapid boil after adding milk, as this can curdle the milk or result in a less smooth flavor.
✓Adjust spices: Feel free to experiment with the quantity and type of spices to suit your personal preference. Cinnamon, cloves, and star anise are popular additions.
✓Sweetness control: Taste the chai before straining and adjust the sugar level if needed. You can also add sweetener after straining.
✓Tea strength: For a stronger chai, use more tea leaves or simmer for an extra minute. For a milder flavor, use fewer tea leaves or a shorter simmering time.
