    doodh patti: boil a mug of milk, as soon as milk starts boiling, put half a tea spoon of black tea in it with sugar (if you like). Wait about 2 minuets

    ilaichi chai: start boiling a mug of water, add some milk into it (as much as you prefer) with 2 pods of cardamom. As soon as it starts boiling, add 1/2 tsp of black tea with sugar. Boil for 2 more minutes,

    If you take away the cardamom from the above ilaichi chai then that is regular indian chai. If you make that 1 tsp of black tea in it then it is tadak chai. If you add Jaggery in the start of boiling process in any of those chais then it becomes "gur chai" (or "gud chai")

    This is how we make it in Pakistan and many areas of India.

    This is awesome! Thank you for sharing - I will definitely try it out.

    My favorite tea is homemade original yogi tea:

    2 quarts water
    15 cloves
    20 black peppercorns
    20 green cardamon pods
    3 cinnamon sticks (4-5" ones)
    8 slices of fresh ginger (organic is stronger so you might want to put more of the bigger kind)
    - boil for an hour and fill your home with it's wonderful smell! Then turn off the heat and add:
    1 tsp of black tea leaves and let it stand.

    This tea can be kept in the fridge for up to a week and reheated as needed. It's a good idea to add warm milk to your cup to help the spiciness from getting to your throat. :-)

    Enjoy!

    I love tea too. Yerba Mate, Earl Grey, Green, White. Not really into the flavored ones although Peppermint is good and helps with appetite.

    I really like tea from Triple Leaf Tea.

    I drink tea everyday. It's the best. I don't drink many herbal teas, but the ones I do like are: Vanilla Chai Rooibos, Lemon Ginger, Peppermint (sometimes w/ some almond milk.) If you're not too worried about calories, steeping a chai teabag in apple cider is too amazing for words.

    Trader Joe's Vanilla & Cinnamon Black Tea - liquid dessert! It's seasonal so I buy it by the case.... if I want a sweetish bit - add a tad of agave and splash of milk or cream --- heavenly
