* 4 whole Peppercorns
* 1 whole Cinnamon Stick (or Half, Depending On The Size)
* Some Coriander Seeds
* 3 whole Cloves
* 4 whole Cardamom Pods (You'll Use The Seeds Inside)
* 1 teaspoon Assam Tea
* Hot Water
* 4 teaspoons Ground, Brown Sugar
* Some Cream Or Milk

Preparation instructions

Start with getting your water heated up.

While the water’s heating up, coarsely grind all the spices and put them in a tea egg. (Or do what I do: use a small French cofee pot. You know, those where you have to press down that thing? Great for chai.)

Pour the hot water over it and let it brew for 5-6 minutes.
Then take out the tea egg, add the sugar and as much milk or cream as you like (I just love cream).

I realize that the spices for chai are usually cooked together with the water, but if I want to make a quick chai for one person, this way is easier. Also, I prefer my chai without ginger, but if you want to, you can add some of course!

You can also use sweetener instead of sugar, but it’s not the same.
