Here is how you make chai, homemade (1 cup):

Recipe is for one 8-oz. cup of chai. In India, this is typically served in smaller portions but consumed frequently during the day. Substituting sweeteners or dairy substitutes is easy, but will alter the flavour.- If they are not preground, grind the spices in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. - Place the spices, tea leaves, sugar, and water in a small saucepan, preferably one with a pouring lip. - Bring to a boil on high heat and add the milk. - Bring almost to a boil again, until there is a good froth building on the surface of the liquid, then remove from heat and pour through a fine strainer into a mug.- Enjoy!Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MVASSEY.
