Make Two Cups of Chai
Gather your chai ingredients.
I a medium pan over high heat bring 1 cup of water to boil. Add the sugar and tea and bring it to a boil again.
Add the milk and chai spice mix, turn the heat to medium-low, and bring to a low boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep a watch on the pan to make sure it doesn't boil over if your pan is on the small side.
Notes
Other flavorings to consider using for Alonna's chai recipe: saffron, allspice, rose petals, 2 to 3 fresh mint leaves, and lemon juice.
Other sweeteners: honey, jaggery, brown sugar, or any sugar substitute you love.
Play with the milk you like and the proportions. I like milky tea, but you may prefer more or less.
