Masala Chai Tea
My Nepalese friend served me this tea at her place recently. It was the first time I ever tried it. This hot drink was so nice, a bit creamy (but not too much), and the blended spices used in the tea was so subtle and just nice (perfect for cold weather). She was making this tea from scratch - free style, no measurement as always. I literally saw her chucked the sugar to the pan using her hand (not spoon). LOL. The below is my suggested measurement, it has been tested and is just as good as my friend's version.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Lightly crushed cardamon and star anise, break the cinnamon stick into half (the spices will release its flavour faster during the process if you do this step)
- 2
Put black tea leaves and spices in a sauce pan (or you can put all these in a teabag like me). Add the water and bring to boil, let it simmer for 10 minutes (medium to high heat), until tea looks really dark/concentrated. If you are using normal tea bags, use 3 or 4. The tea needed to be strong as you will add a lot of milk later.
- 3
Add in milk, and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes until tea look reduced.
- 4
Turned off the heat and pour your masala chai to a mug with a strainer.
- 5
Add your sweetener of choice and adjust to your liking (I am using brown sugar). Enjoy your fresh brewed masala chai tea.
- 6
Note: Add more milk and less water if you want a richer/creamier taste. Or add less milk and more water if you want it less richer/creamier. I haven't tried it with plant based milk, but I am sure it should be fine too.

No-Waste Powdered Tea! No-Waste Powdered Tea!
A friend of mine heard that if you turn tea leaves into powder, you can make a huge amount of tea from it. It sounded like it would be good for you, too, so I tried making it.If you keep the blender running continuously, the motor will heat up. Be sure to stop it from time to time.The tea leaves turn very fine and become much more fragrant. To make tea with a tiny amount of the powdered tea leaves, mix very well after adding the powder to hot or cold water. Recipe by Myuu samada

After researching recipes online, I learned that bay leaves can be boiled along with herbs and spices such as ginger & cinnamon to make a lovely, warm, uplifting tea. Here's the recipe!
