Tips:

Use quality ingredients: The better the quality of your tea leaves and spices, the better your chai will taste. Look for organic, fair-trade tea leaves and freshly ground spices.
Freshly grind your spices: Grinding your spices just before using them releases their full flavor and aroma. If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle.
Simmer, don't boil: Bring the chai to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Boiling the chai will make it bitter.
Sweeten to taste: Add sugar or honey to taste. You can also use a natural sweetener, such as stevia or monk fruit.
Serve hot: Chai is best served hot, with a splash of milk or cream. You can also add a sprinkle of ground cardamom or cinnamon for extra flavor.
