I don't mean this too sweet sugar drink from Starbucks, made out of syrup. I'm talking about original Masala Chai Tea Latte. Made out of fresh spices, milk and black tea.
(On Brick Lane Market they have really good Chai Tea Latte, freshly made)
All you need is:
175 ml (3/4 cups) water
175 ml milk
2 slices fresh ginger
1 cinnamon stick
4 whole green cardamon pods
1 teaspoon loose black tea
1 piece star anise
1/2 table spoon fresh ground black pepper
sweetener (honey or sugar)
Bring the water in a small saucepan to boil, add the cardamon, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon stick and star anise. ( I also added a vanilla pot, because it tastes even better)
Let the spices infuse for a couple of minutes, lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes.
Add the milk and black tea, and simmer the whole mixture for one more minute. Turn off the heat and let the hot drink rest for two minutes.
Now pour the drink into a cup through a fine sieve. Add sugar or honey and enjoy a perfect and spicy drink for cold night.
