Masala Chai — Indian recipe
Masala Chai, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Masala Chai

Whole spices cracked and boiled in water, then tea, then milk, all simmered together in one pan until it reduces and turns the color of caramel. It is not tea with spices added — everything cooks together, and that is what makes it chai rather than a spiced latte.
