Step Two: Steep And Pour

Remove the pot from the heat, cover and let stand for five minutes to bring out the spices and tea flavor.

Next, pour into tiny cups, the smallest you can find -- that is, if you want to serve it Indian-style. Add in the milk until the color resembles somewhat well-creamed coffee. You may want to experiment down the line with the tea and milk content.

Tips:

• Take care not to burn the milk.
• Whole milk makes a richer chai.
• You may choose to reduce the sugar or use honey, instead; just know that sugar enhances the flavor of the spices.
