   • In a large cooking pot (ensure it’s at least twice the size needed to contain your soya milk), combine soya milk, ground ginger, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, ground allspice, and artificial sweetener.

2. Heat and Stir:

   • Heat the mixture over high heat, stirring constantly to ensure the spices blend well with the soya milk.

3. Bring to a Boil:

   • Continue stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Be attentive as the mixture will froth up—this is normal.

4. Managing Froth:

   • Once it froths, remove the pot from heat and allow the froth to subside. Repeat this process three more times to enhance the flavor infusion. The larger pot size prevents spills during frothing.

5. Serve Hot:

   • Once ready, pour the Hot Indian Chai into mugs and serve immediately while hot. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of ground cardamom for added aroma and flavor.
