To make masala chai with milk, steep a teaspoon of loose leaf tea in hot water for 3-5 minutes. Then add a cup of milk to the steeping tea and allow the tea to heat back to the point of boiling to bring out a caramel flavor from the milk. You can also add sweetener to taste, such as sugar, honey, or agave syrup. For a creamier and richer chai, try using whole milk or a plant-based milk alternative.
