This is the recipe for one cup (one serving) of Indian Chai tea. Indian tea is easy to make, great for the cold winter months, and works well to serve in a thermos at holiday gatherings. It is usually served after dinner. If you want to make more just multiply by how many people you have. This recipe was passed down to me from my mother.

- 1 bag of Black Tea
- Evaporated Milk
