Making indian tea the traditional way
Boil a cup of water turn off the stove add 2 tsp of indian black tea to it let it steep for a minute in the hot water (do not turn on the stove)
Now add the boil milk and cane sugar
Change the ratio of milk and tea as per your taste

Boiling milk on the stove is the traditional way and using a pinch of ginger makes the milk easier to digest 
Add cardamom when boiling water gives great aroma for your tea

Strauss milk is what I have used in making this tea it's non homeoginzed milk which makes the fat rise to the top

Enjoy the masala chai
