If you can get CTC leaves and some store-bought chai masala, you can a pretty good chai at home:

1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup water
1 tsp CTC tea leaves
1/2 to 1 tsp masala, to taste
1-2 tsp grated ginger

Bring it to a boil in a saucepan, and either lower your burner to medium, or move the pan so that it's only half on heating element, then boil it for 4 minutes and pour it through a strainer. Add about 2 tsp sugar or honey.

Many indians will use much less milk, and low-fat at that. And that's because they're pussies.

I'll likely come asking you for directions again if/when at some future time I get my hands on some. It's too rare for me to remember this recipe, but thanks!

Any tips on homemade chai masala? (I'm sensitive to lots of foods, so store bought is almost never an option)
