Heat 1 cup of water in a saucepan on a medium flame and add 3 pods of crushed cardamom (Elaichi) to it along with an inch of grated ginger. Let it come to a boil.

Then, add 2 tsp of tea leaves (powder) and give it a nice stir. Let it come to a boil. (Pro tip: I have used regular CTC chai here. You can use other variants as well).

Now, add 2 tsp of sugar to the boiling tea, stir and let it boil for 5 minutes on a medium to high flame. Now, reduce the flame and pour in ¾ cup of milk to the chai. Give it a nice stir and let it boil for 2 minutes. Stir the chai in between. Turn off the flame once it boils.

Filter the chai in a glass or a cup with a strainer. Your cutting chai is ready. Enjoy it hot with biscuits.
