Indian Ginger Tea With Milk (Adrak Chai)
Ginger Milk Tea-Adrak Chai
Chai or tea is an unofficial national drink or beverage of Indian household. It is a must-drink in the morning, and it is refreshing drink after a meal or in the evening after a long day. Evidently, it has led to too many variations to it and one of the variations from urban cities is the ginger tea recipe or adrak wali chai. Like any other Indian family, our day does not start without a sip of freshly boiled milk tea. We have untold and never discussed patterns for our morning tea. I prepare the basic or no fancy tea during the week which is just made with organic tulsi adrak green tea leaves and no milk. not even sugar in it. But for the weekend it’s my duty to make spicy and sharp tea with ginger or cardamom or both in it. The idea of having something fancy on the weekend is due to the ample amount of time you have in the early morning. It means you can be patient till the milk, tea powder and spices are boiled together thoroughly and gives you a very refreshing kadak tea in the mornig.

Preperation steps for Ginger Milk Tea-Adrak Chai
Take the ginger pieces in a mortar-pestle and crush the pieces roughly. Now take 1 cup of water in a pan, and when the water starts boiling, add 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of dust tea to the boiling water.
Boil for 1 minute, then add the crushed ginger. After that, add 1/2 cup of milk to the pan and keep boiling everything for 2 minutes. Remember how much the tea will boil; the tea will taste better.
