How To Make South Indian Chai Tea

    

For 2-4 people:
2 black tea bags (or 1/2 cup loose leaf tea)
4 small cinnamon sticks (or 1-2 tbsp ground cinnamon)
1 tbsp clove
1 tbsp cardamom, gnashed
Milk, more than water
Sugar, to taste

Boil water (South Indians boil just milk).
Steep tea and spices for 5 minutes on low heat.
Pour in milk and stir in sugar (will turn from dark brown to light tan color).
Ladle chai or strain spices first, keeping warm on low heat while serving.

I purchased my spices at a local Indian mart. Here are links to something similar:
