Answer 1

U can make a Tea Masala with fallowing ingredients....dry ginger(pound ginger little before grinding it in mixie), cloves, pepper, cardamom (should be more in quantity compared to other ingredients) , cinnamom sticks.

Grind all these ingredients in mixie and store it in air tight container, and use as and when u require.

add 2 to 3 pinch in 1 cup of tea.

Answer 2

Best way to make tea just like in India would be to buy indian brand tea ( not tea bags! they never make the tea taste just as good )

You will also get readymade tea masala in Indian grocery stores.. i've used the Everest tea masala ( Everest is the famous indian spices brand ) its really good.

This is my recipe for making a perfect cup of tea -

-take half a cup water

-take half a cup milk (whole milk)

-one tea spoonful indian brand tea ( Brrokbond Reb Label tea is my favorite)

-one spoon sugar

-half a spoonful of tea masala..

-bring it to a boil on high flame

-keep it simmering on very low flame for 2 min more

And done! :)
