pumpkin spice chai ⬇️ recipe 1 cup water 1/2 cup milk (or more) 1.5 tbsp black tea leaves 1–2 cardamom pods (crushed) or 1/2 tsp ground cardamom powder Big pinch of pumpkin pie spice 2 tsp sugar, or to taste ••••• Troubleshooting Your Chai Chai is an intuitive process and the more you make it, the better you will get. I’ve seen chai being made my whole life, and it still took me some time to get the hang of it. So don’t get stressed out and try to feel the experience. 🍁if your chai is looks too pale and not strong enough on the tea flavor, just simmer it longer on low heat! Every tea powder and stove is different, so it’s hard to standardize the time. 🍁 If your chai is too strong on the tea flavor, you probably over steeped it. You can add some more milk – make sure to use warm milk. Next time, simmer is a little less or use more milk. 🍁If your chai is not strong on the cardamom or spices, you might be using old cardamom or simply prefer a strong cardamom flavor. Check how old your cardamom is, and if it’s recent, just add 1/2 tsp more next time. Keep adjusting until you find what you are happy with. 🍁If your chai doesn’t smell like anything, then its possible you’re not storing your tea leaves or cardamom properly in an airtight container, or they’re just too old. 🍁If your chai is too watery, you probably prefer a more milky chai. You have two options, you can either forget about the water all together and replace the initial water with milk or just can use more milk in the third step. I like my cup of chai to be very light so I prefer a 1/2 cup milk for cup of water ratio. • • #chai #tea #drinks #indianrecipes #chaitealatte #chailatte #healthyrecipes #recipes #icedchailatte #tealover #quickrecipes #fallrecipes
