Masala Tea (indian Spiced Tea)

Recipe #94606 | 15 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is wonderfully heady and comforting, and perfect with an Indian meal. I've made it as directed, but also have a coffeemaker I use just for tea, and most often make it in that. I'll just put the spices in a coffee filter with the tea, then throw a cardamom pod in each cup when I serve it. It's great cold too (but I prefer it hot, with a little sugar)

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Warm your teapot by rinsing it with boiling water.
  2. 2
    Place the tea& spices in the teapot.
  3. 3
    Boil the 5 cups of water and pour over the tea& spices.
  4. 4
    Let steep for 5 minutes, stir, and serve with a cardamom pod added to each cup.
  5. 5
    Add sugar, honey and/or milk to taste.
  6. 6
    NOTES:.
  7. 7
    You can substitute Assam or Ceylon tea for the darjeeling, and can use teabags instead (1 or 2 per cup of water, depending on how strong you like your tea).
  8. 8
    If using a coffeemaker, 4 teabags for a 10-cup pot seems to work perfectly.

    This is GOOD! I used Peet's extra fancy Assam. More work than throwing some tea lraves into a filter bag, but a nice change of pace. Good on a cold, overcast winter day with some plain crispy wafers.

    This was good, however, not quite what we've had at the Indian restaurant. I will make it again but use half and half or cream instead of milk to see if I can get the creamy consistency that restaurant's tea has.
