Judy's note: I always add just a little coarse, freshly-ground black
pepper
to this spice mix.
Madhur Jaffrey's Masala Chai
1-1/2 cups water
1 inch stick of cinnamon
8 cardamom pods
8 whole cloves
2/3 cup milk
6 tsp. sugar (or to taste)
3 teaspoons any un-perfumed loose black tea
Put 1-1/2 cups water in saucepan. Add the cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves
and bring to a boil. Cover, turn heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the milk and sugar and bring to a simmer again. Throw in the tea
leaves, cover, and turn off the heat. After 2 minutes, strain the tea into
two cups and serve immediately.
