Recipe N° 01 — Chai
Masala Chai
मसाला चाय
The cup most mornings start with. Crushed cardamom goes in with the water and our tea masala goes in with the milk, so the spice steeps through the chai instead of sitting on top.

Method
Step 1: Bring the water to a boil with the crushed ginger and Green Cardamom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes so the water takes on their flavour.
Step 2: Add the tea and sugar and boil for 1–2 minutes, until the colour turns a deep amber.
Step 3: Pour in the milk and add the Special Tea Masala. Bring it to a boil, then let the chai rise and settle two or three times on medium heat — this is what gives it body.
Step 4: Strain into cups and serve straight away.
For a stronger cup, add the tea masala a little earlier, with the tea leaves, and boil a minute longer.
