Masala Chai or Masala Tea

Tea is one of the beverage most of us like to have as a refreshment. I am not a big fan of tea. At times when I get bored with coffee, I prefer to drink tea. Today I had a thought, why don't I try Masala chai . So I tried it and enjoyed the taste . Now, I am sharing the recipe with you.

Ingredients:

Milk - 2 glass

Water - 1 glass

Tea powder - 2 teaspoon(Ratio for 1 teaspoon for 1 glass of milk)

I would like to add a small note on tea preparation. The tea I prepared is a mild strong tea with mild thick consistency. You can adjust the quantity of milk , water and tea powder ratio as per your taste.
