This simple homemade chai tea recipe is made with whole spices, black tea, and milk. While it does take a little more work than just steeping a bag of chai tea, the smell and taste of this chai is well worth the extra steps!
Combine spice and water in a medium pot; bring to a boil, then remove from heat and allow to steep, covered, for 5 minutes.
Bring the mixture back to a boil, add the tea (I put mine in a tea ball), remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes longer.
Note:
This recipe is not very sweet; I added only enough honey to mine to make the sweetness complement the spices. If you like yours a little sweeter, add more sugar or honey.
