- Yields:
-
1 cup
- Serves:
- 1
ingredients
- 1 chai tea bag (I use Trader Joe's)
- 1 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup nonfat milk (whichever milk you prefer, I just like skim)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon honey (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
directions
- Place water and tea bag in a small saucepan over high heat.
- Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for about ten minutes, until the water is reduced by half. If less than 1/2 cup of water remains after ten minutes, just top up with more water.
- Remove tea bag and stir in milk and honey or sugar. Allow the chai to just return to a boil, then pour into a mug and serve.
- Note that if you let chai sit for too long, it will form a "skin." This is normal, but if you'd rather not have it, periodically stir your chai while you enjoy it.
