Take a saucepan and boil ¼ cup of water. When it starts boiling, add 2 tsp of sugar and 1.5 tsp of tea leaves. Mix everything nicely and let it come to a boil once.

At this stage, add a piece of fresh, washed and peeled ginger (adrak) to it.

Let it come to a boil and release its flavor in the water for 2 to 3 minutes.

Now, pour in 1 cup of milk into the saucepan. Stir it with a spoon or shake the entire pan in circular motion to let the milk cook on a high flame. Let it come to a boil once.

Now, reduce the flame of the gas stove and simmer the tea on a low flame so that it comes to a rolling boil. Regulate the flame so that it boils for 6 to 7 minutes and comes to a rolling boil for at least 3 to 4 times. (Pro tip: Boiling the tea on a low flame for a couple of times is crucial to mix the flavors of all the ingredients nicely).

Now, switch off the gas stove, strain the tea in a glass or a cup.

Your super tasty homemade Adrak chai is ready. Serve it hot with toast biscuits or any biscuits of your choice.
