TITLE: Simple Indian Milk Tea FROM: Padma Talasila DATE: 5/10/94 EMAIL: padma@meaddata.com It's very simple. For one cup tea : tea bags : 2 water: 2/3 cups milk: 1/2 cup masala: 1 cardomom or small piece of crushed ginger sugar: 1 teaspoon Put tea bags in water and let it boil vigorously for 5 minutes. Pour in milk and add sugar. Let it boil until the milk rises. Add crushed cardomom pods or ginger. Serve hot. If you use ginger, take it out of tea before drinking. You can also use teapowder in which case, you need to filter tea as you would do for coffee. For better taste, tea should be boiled for long time. The more you boil, the more creamy it will be. I find that tea powder is better than tea bags. The amount of sugar can be varied with your taste.
