This authentic homemade chai is a fragrant, warming celebration of traditional Indian flavours. By simmering whole spices like ginger, cloves, and cardamom, you create a deeply aromatic base that far surpasses any shop-bought alternative or instant latte powder. The use of golden brown sugar adds a delicate caramel note, which perfectly complements the robust tannins of the Darjeeling tea and the richness of the whole milk.
Providing a comforting lift on a cold afternoon, this spiced tea is a wonderful addition to your beverage repertoire. It is an ideal drink for sharing with friends, or simply as a soothing ritual after a long day. For a truly traditional experience, serve it piping hot in small glasses or ceramic mugs alongside a few biscuits for dipping.
