Indian boy making Chai (from Wikipedia)
Sure, it's easy to have chai these days. Just go to your run-of-the-mill 'hip' coffee shop and order one. They'll make you something chai-tasting, but it'll never be as satisfying as making yourself.
Luckily, Amy given us the 411 on making chai:
"When Australians refer to ‘chai’, they generally mean ‘masala chai,’ the sweet and spicy tea served throughout India as a specialty – particularly on trains (from ‘chaiwallahs’), hence the backpacker exposure!"
Amy goes on to give you a step-by-step guide to making chai. Does she make it herself?
I dunno about that, but she reminds you to avoid burning the milk.
Seems like obvious advice, sure, but let's see you do it. I tried to make chai one evening, after serving an excellent dinner of coconut curried chicken and basmati rice. Chai seemed like the natural way to bring the meal to a symphonic close, but I scalded the milk a little.
My friend said it tasted 'like soap'.
There's nothing worse than having to say, 'If I did it right, you'd love it'.
