Boil water, drop in tea bag, wait 5 minutes. Boom! Chai!

Chai is just another word for tea.

It’s not another word for tea, it literally means tea in Hindi/Urdu. You guys are aware that there are other languages, right?

Couple cups of water, TBSP of black tea leaves, crushed cardamom pods or seeds (use about 4 cardamom pods or a tsp of seeds), pinch of fennel seeds also crushed. pinch of turmeric. pinch of cloves. 1 TBSP of sugar or more if you like it sweet. Simmer and add 1 cup of milk and strain.

This sounds good!

Use 1/3 milk and 2/3 water, bring it to a boil with the spices added. I use bruised fresh ginger and some coarsely ground peppercorns, cardamom, clove and cinnamon sticks. Just a bash in a mortar and pestle will do.
When it boils, turn off the stove and add tea leaves - you need a strong black tea like Assam/ English breakfast. Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Strain and enjoy!
