"So now you know what chai tea is, c-h-a-i with spices and black tea leaves, how do you make it? Well, in India they make it over stove top, with milk and sugar and black tea leaves and spices. Well in the US, there's many ways to make it. You can buy an instant mix which is not very good. The other style is to buy the loose leaf tea, black tea and the spices separately, so that you don't have a bitter flavor. So, the best way to brew it is get a pot of, a pot, put it in your stove, on your stove top, add milk to it, to the amount of tea you want to consume. If you like to have two cups of tea, then put 16 oz. of milk into the pan, heat it up, when the milk is about to boil, add in the spices, bring the temperature down to a medium, medium heat and let it sit for ten minutes or so, until the spices is infused with the milk and it has all the flavors of the spices. Then you add in the tea leaves. Let it sit for another five minutes. Take the pot off the stove and filter out the tea leaves as well as the spices and you've got a nice pot of spiced chai. You can add milk, additional milk if you like to cool down the hot beverage and you can add sugar at that point. Cause, I don't recommend adding sugar to the brew when it's in the pot. Now that's how you make spiced chai."
