Everyone has their own way of making tea, and there are so many types too.

Today we’re going back to basics and sharing this delicious and comforting hot beverage.

This is the easiest chai recipe that I’m sharing with you today.

What You Need

• Milk
• Black Tea leaves (I use Lipton, but Tetley is really good too)
• Sugar (this is optional)

Also known as doodh patti it is made with just milk and black tea. There are no spices added to this easy chai recipe. Masala Chai on the other hand is full of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and fennel seeds.

How to Make It

We start by bringing milk to a gentle boil, and then add the black tea leaves and sugar. Keeping the heat gentle, boil the chai for about 5 minutes while continuously ladling it so that tea cooks properly and develops this gorgeous caramel color. And that's about it. Easy peasy!!!

Serve it With

• Aloo Tikki 
• Chicken Cheese Balls 
• Shahi Tukda
• Chana Chaat 
• Baked Spinach and Cheese Samosa
• Chocolate Samosa 
• Crispy Baked Chicken Tenders 
• Aloo Chaat

I do hope you try out this delicious homemade chai recipe, and I think you'll be hooked.
