You have received your delicious blend of herbal chai, and now you are trying to choose the best way to prepare your chai. There are a few different methods to go about this. Here is my favorite way:

In addition to your spices, you will need milk, water, and sugar (or honey).

1. Crush one tablespoon of Chai Garden spices with a mortar and pestle
2. Add spices to a boiling pot (roast for 2 minutes for extra flavor)
3. Add 2 cups of milk, and 1 cup of water
4. Bring to boil on the stove.
5. Reduce heat, and stir in your sugar/honey to taste
6. Allow chai to simmer for a 10 more minutes.
7. Strain into a teacup, and enjoy!

A few tips:

• I prefer to crush my spices in a mortar and pestle beforehand. This isn’t necessary, but it really brings out the rich, robust flavors and aromas of the spices. (If you don’t have a mortar a pestle, you can buy one here.)
• If you have dairy/sugar sensitivities, you can substitute with other ingredients; I personally enjoy my chai with organic oatmilk and raw honey.
• Have you heard the saying, “a watched pot never boils”? Well, a chai pot always boils. And if you don’t watch it, it will boil right over!! Watch it boil, and quickly simmer when it starts to rise.
• Sip through a cinnamon stick for extra delight.
