For one of cup chai:
1 tablespoon black tea
5-7 cardamom pods, cracked
3-4 whole cloves
5-7 peppercorns
1/2 cinnamon stick
1/2 star anise (optional)
fresh ginger to taste
saffron if you're rich idk
Note: these quantities are for gently infusing whole spices, not ground ones - if grinding your spice mix, reduce the cardamom, peppercorns, and star anise by half. And good luck straining that shit out.
Brew in 1 part evaporated milk (NOT OPTIONAL), and 1 part water. Serve in a teacup and drink with one pinky out for the true Indian experience (i.e. colonization).
