From the Demo: Indian Tea Party with Un-Curry. January 31, 2009
Serves 4, Time: 10-15 minutes
My grand-mother’s tea is a lovely rich brew. You can also try cinnamon sticks, cloves, whole cardamom, dried ginger powder or fresh grated ginger in this tea.
Ingredients:
4 cups whole milk Or 2 cups milk & 2 cups water
9-10 teaspoons sugar or to taste
4-5 teaspoons good quality Indian black tea leaves
1/2-3/4 teaspoon powdered cardamom
1/2-3/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Combine all ingredients in a pan. Bring to a boil and simmer until the milk turns a lovely pinkish brown, 7-10 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Steep tea covered 1-2 minutes, strain and serve hot.
You can also make this tea with coconut milk for a very indulgent flavor. Prepare tea as above but add coconut milk just after it comes to a boil. Heat the milk through but do not let it boil or it might curdle.
