Instructions

  1. Prepare the Water: Begin by pouring 2 cups of water into a saucepan and place it over medium-high heat. Allow the water to come to a brisk boil.

  2. Infuse the Tea: Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of tea leaves. Let the tea leaves simmer in the boiling water for approximately one minute. This will enhance the flavor and color of your chai.

  3. Add Milk: Turn off the heat and carefully stir in 1/4 cup of milk into the tea mixture. Allow it to rest for a few seconds to meld the flavors.

  4. Incorporate Gulkand: In each tea cup, add 1 tablespoon of Gulkand at the bottom. This will provide a delightful sweetness and aromatic rose flavor to the chai.

  5. Serve: Strain the brewed chai into the prepared cups over the Gulkand. The beautiful rose notes will infuse into the tea as you pour.

  6. Pairing Suggestions: Enjoy your Gulkand Chai alongside crispy samosas, vegetable bajjis, or pakoras for a perfect evening snack.
