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.

The Delicious Chai Recipe I Made Every Diwali

Ingredients

  1. 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
  1. Optional:
    1 stick cinnamon
    1 pinch saffron

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. While waiting on the tea, warm up your milk and agave in the microwave for one minute.
  3. Use a hand frother to froth the milk and agave in the mug until it's at your desired consistency.
  4. Hold a hand sieve over your mug as you pour the tea in to your mug of frothed milk.
  5. 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!
