Smoke The Tea:
While the tea is cooking, heat a clay mug (kulhad) over direct heat until it is very hot. Keep rotating it with the help of a tong so that it heats evenly on all sides.
Keep the hot mug in a deep pot and pour the strained tea into the hot mug.
The chai will froth vigorously like a volcano and pour out into the pot.Once the frothing has subsided, pour the hot smoky tea into a fresh teacup or a clay mug and serve immediately. Garnish with some saffron strands..
