This Masala Chai My Way | Easy Homemade Indian Chai Recipe is my go-to way to enjoy a comforting cup of Indian spiced tea. Made with loose black tea, ginger, lemongrass, and warming spices, this chai is aromatic, customizable, and can be made lactose-free without compromising on taste.
Why This Masala Chai Recipe Works
- Lactose-free milk option
- Fresh ginger for digestion
- Lemongrass for aroma
- Loose tea for depth of flavour
Ingredients:
1 l water
1 tbsp loose black tea
1 tsp premixed chai masala
½ tbsp lemongrass leaves (about 2 long leaves)
1 inch freshly grated ginger
¼ tsp elichi powder
½ cup milk (I’m using lactose free)
Method:
1
Add all the ingredients to a pan with the water apart from the milk.
2
Bring the water with spices to a boil and let it boil a further 2mins.
3
Add the milk and bring to a boil again. You will see the tea bubbling vigorously.
4
Use a tea strainer to strain the tea into cups or a teapot.
5
Enjoy hot - I also add cinnamon powder over the top before drinking.
