- Add milk and bring the tea to a full boil on medium-high heat. Turn the heat off or allow it to simmer on low heat for another two minutes. Additional boiling time will make stronger tea.

Notes
- Tetley British blend tea bags can be used instead of loose tea
- Boiling the tea for a long time after adding milk makes it stronger or "kadak"
- You can reduce the amount of water and add more milk instead for creamier chai
- I prefer to skim or low-fat milk but feel free to use regular milk, soy milk, etc
- You can also add sugar along with the tea or add it to taste in individual cups
- Depending on the quality and freshness of the ginger you may need to add more or less. Start with 1 teaspoon per cup and then add more if needed. I usually add 1½ teaspoons per cup.
