INDIAN CHAI The country's favouite hot beverage, chai (Indian chai) can be sourced in almost every corner of any given area. We just love to add those aromatic herbs and roots in the water and let it simmer, until that magical aroma wafts through the room.

Fresh Water (2.5 Cups) Black Tea Leaves (1 Tsp) or 2 Black Tea Bags
No. of Servings: 3 Cups Cardamom powder (1/4 Tsp)

Method
In a saucepan add water, tea leaves or tea bags, cardamom, cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon, ginger and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 3-6 minutes-the longer it boils, the stronger the chai. Add the cashew milk or any dairy free milk and turn off the heat. Strain it into a cup and stir in the sweetener.

QUICK TIPS
To make instant nutmilk anytime, soak nuts in large quantities, drain water and deepfreeze them. This way, they can be stored for a month. Always add the milk towards the end and make sure that you do not boil the tea further, else, the cashew milk may curdle, spoiling the tea.
