Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 tbsp loose black tea leaves or 4 tea bags
- 1 cup whole milk or evaporated milk for richer flavor
- 1/4 cup sugar or to taste
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp saffron threads optional but traditional
- 1 stick cinnamon or 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Notes
For a richer flavor, use evaporated milk instead of regular milk. You can prepare the tea base ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 days, then reheat and add milk when ready to serve. Adjust sugar to your preference - traditional Saudi chai tends to be quite sweet. For a vegan version, use coconut milk for a tropical twist that complements the spices.
