When heavy rain starts, the first thing people think of is hot ginger tea. The pleasure of sipping tea while sitting by the window with a strong and aromatic drink is truly special. The enjoyment of the rainy season doubles if you can drink a cup of excellent and strong masala tea. However, sometimes homemade tea lacks the taste or aroma of street vendors.
Tips for perfect tea
If you want to make the perfect tea during this pleasant rainy season, we will tell you some simple tricks. With their help, you can make tea at home strong and similar to tea from a street stall every time.
Ingredients for strong ginger tea
An important tip is that ginger and cardamom should always be crushed or grated before adding them to the tea. This approach ensures that the tea's taste is exactly the same as in street stalls.
Step-by-step recipe for rainy day tea
First, finely crush the ginger and cardamom. Bring water to a boil in a pot, then add the crushed ginger and cardamom and simmer for 2-3 minutes so that the spice aromas fully transfer to the water.
Next, pour in the milk and bring it to a boil. After that, add sugar and tea leaves. Simmer the tea over low heat for 3-4 minutes. This improves the color, taste, and aroma of the tea. Finally, strain and serve hot.
Balanced masala tea option
If you prefer tea with a balanced, rather than too spicy taste, you can add 2 cloves along with the ginger and cardamom. This will enhance the tea's aroma, making it even more delightful in rainy weather.
