Chai is an ancient Indian drink consisting of brewed black tea sweetened with sugar and mellowed with milk. When using a strong tea like Darjeeling, Assam, and Ceylon, use about 2 teaspoons for every 3 cups of liquid (water and milk). For weaker black teas, such as Orange Pekoe, use up to 3 teaspoons.

Prepare the Tea
-
Bring the water to a boil in medium saucepan. Add the tea, ginger, cinnamon, vanilla, and bay leaves and simmer for 4 minutes.
-
Add the milk and simmer until the milk begins to froth (about one additional minute). Stir in the honey.
-
Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for three minutes. Strain. (If the tea leaves are left in for too long, it becomes bitter.)
Note:
Serve warm, or for chilled chai, place in the refrigerator until chilled.
