Add milk and optional sugar and bring to a light boil. Strain and serve!
Masala chai is normally a sweetened drink, I prefer it without sugar. It can also be made with full fat milk, condensed milk or heavy cream. For a bit more bite adjust the black pepper and ginger. Can also be frothed after straining for lattes.
Makes about 4 servings depending on the size of the coffee mug.
