Let me start this new year briskly with a masala tea post Winking smile. Have you ever tried a masala chai adding jaggery instead of sugar ? This is the first time i am trying this way. I got this recipe from a cookbook. I simply loved its taste & aroma with all the spices in it. If you want , you can always replace the jaggery with sugar or honey as per your choice. Some people prefer less milk in tea. Some may like with half & half milk and water. I used more water & less milk. Adjust the quantity of milk & water as per your liking.Do try this tea , you’ll love it for sure.Lets see Indian style masala chai with jaggery with step by step pictures.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup – 240ml
  • Water – 1 cup
  • Boiled milk – 1/2 cup (adjust)
  • Tea powder – 1 tsp (I used 3 roses brand)
  • Fennel seeds – 1/4 tsp
  • Cinnamon – 1 inch piece
  • Cloves – 2 nos
  • Cardamom – 2 nos ( Open it & add seeds)
  • Ginger – 1/2 tbsp OR 1/2 inch (crush it slightly)
  • Jaggery – 1 tbsp OR Sugar – 2 tsp (adjust)
  • Pepper corns –  2 nos (crushed)
METHOD
  • Boil water in a pan and when it starts boiling , add all the spices by crushing it slightly. Allow it to roll boil. After 3-4 mins, add the jaggery. When the jaggery is completely melted , add tea powder. As soon as you add the tea powder, water will rise. Simmer the flame & bring it to boil.
