Traditional Indian Rose Chai Recipe
Adapted Recipe by Neha Tandon
Notes
If you can't get your hands on Ranavat's Illuminate Darjeeling tea, swap it out for any darjeeling tea and 1 teaspoon of rose water.
If you don't have a frother, boil the milk with the water and tea.
Ingredients
- 1 bag of Ranavat's Illuminate Darjeeling Tea
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup milk (I use oat milk for its creamy consistency)
1 teaspoon agave, or sweetener of choice
1 teaspoon blend of ginger, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and black pepper
- Optional:
1 stick cinnamon
1 pinch saffron
Directions
- Put your water, tea bag, and blend of spices (plus saffron, if you have it) in a small pot. Once it comes to a boil, bring the heat down to low and let steep for five minutes.
- While waiting on the tea, warm up your milk and agave in the microwave for one minute.
- Use a hand frother to froth the milk and agave in the mug until it's at your desired consistency.
- Hold a hand sieve over your mug as you pour the tea in to your mug of frothed milk.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon on top and put a cinnamon stick in it for an extra festive look — you can't go wrong with the toppings here. Put on your favorite Bollywood movie and enjoy!
