Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 inch sliced ginger, and 3 crushed cardamom pods. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 5 minutes until fragrant.
Step 2
Add 2 teaspoons black tea leaves and 2 teaspoons sugar. Stir and simmer for 2 minutes, until the tea is dark and aromatic.
Step 3
Pour in 1/2 cup milk and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Watch for the tea to rise — remove from heat just before it overflows.
Step 4
Strain the chai into a mug, pressing the tea leaves to extract all the flavor. Serve hot and enjoy.
