Method

  1. 1

    Brew the tea

    Bring the water to a boil with the tea leaves, simmering 2–3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add milk

    Pour in the milk and bring back to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer to strength

    Simmer a further 2–3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Sweeten and strain

    Stir in sugar and strain into cups.

  5. 5

    Dunk and enjoy

    Dunk the cardamom rusk briefly into the hot chai and enjoy immediately while it's still crisp at the centre.

Nitra tip

Dunk briefly, not long — a rusk left too long in hot tea will fall apart before it reaches your mouth.
