Burma Chai/ Tea
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp tea
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a thick bottomed saucepan and bring to boil.
- Once the milk starts bubbling on the sides, reduce flame to medium-low and add the tea powder.
- Continue to "cook" the tea till your required strength and thickness is achieved. Keep stirring in between to ensure that the milk does not get stuck to the pan.
- Switch off, add the sugar. Pour 2-3 times back and forth in a mug, to ensure mixing of flavors well.
- Pour into your favourite mug or glass and enjoy!!!
Notes
Use full-fat milk, low fat or skimmed tastes terrible for this tea! And do not add water - all gone!
Use good quality tea powder - I always prefer Red Label or Eastea, for its smell and thickness.
Since the milk gets boiled till the tea becomes strong, add more milk, if you want more tea - one mug of milk would give you around half a mug of tea.
You may flavor the tea with cardamom or cloves or ginger - your choice... but the tea tastes good as is, without any additionals!
