Ingredients
Instructions
1. Bring water to a boil.
2. Add tea bags. Let steep for many minutes. (gets dark brown)
3. Add Cardamom
4. Add jaggery cube and let dissolve. (to taste)(can use any type of sweetener)
5. Add Milk and let steep again for a few minutes.
6. Have a tea strainer if used loose leaf and strain in to tea cups as you serve.
Notes
If you are lactose intolerant you can use a milk alternative (almond milk, oat milk, etc) I do this often. However, to be honest, it is hard to get the right texture for the tea without some milk fat.
Is this how you make Afghan sheer chai? Are we going to have a sheer chai war like over on TikTok? lol.
