Instructions for Authentic Adrak Chai Recipe - Learn How to Make Indian Style Ginger Tea at Home

To begin making the Adrak Chai Recipe - Indian Style Ginger Tea, prep all the ingredients.

Pound the ginger using a pestle and mortar. This is my favourite brand of the the pestle and mortar and has a perfect stone and weight to pound and crush masala.

In a saucepan add 1-1/2 cups of water and the pounded ginger and bring the water to a brisk boil.

Allow it to boil for a few minutes so the water gets flavoured with flavours of ginger.

Add in the tea leaves and allow the tea mixture to come to a brisk boil. Add the milk at this first stage of boiling and continue till you notice the colour the Adrak Chai is turning a beautiful golden brown. This will take less than a minute. Do not over boil, as the chai will become strong and kadak.

In less than minute. Turn off the heat. Allow the Adrak Chai to rest and brew for about a minute.

Once done, using a small strainer filter the adrak chai into individual cups or a teapot. Stir in the sugar to taste and serve along with your favorite snack.
