    4 cups Water, 4 tsp Railway Chai
  • Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, partially cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, add Assam Tea. (You can use another black tea; green or Rooibos also work.) Cover and steep for 2-3 minutes.
    4 tsp Organic Assam Tea
  • Strain into warm milk. It tastes best with whole milk. Sweeten to taste. Add a little salt for a balanced flavour.

Notes

Railway Chai can be made ahead and kept in the fridge to reheat later. It is refreshingly delicious also served on ice on a hot day.
