Different Technique for Making Vegan Chai -

Loose tea leaves: to make Indian chai, you do need loose Indian black tea leaves. You can easily find them at Indian grocery stores. There are so many brands and everyone has a personal preference. I like “society” brand.
Cashew milk: you need unsweetened cashew milk for this recipe and my absolute favorite is “forager” brand unsweetened cashew milk (not sponsored but I seriously love it).
Spices: to make masala chai you need spices like green cardamom, cloves, peppercorns. There’s some ginger as well.
Sugar: this is optional and you or may not use it. You can use white sugar, raw sugar, jaggery or whatever you prefer as a sweetener.

Step by Step Instructions

Crush the cardamom, peppercorn slightly using a mortar and pestle. Add water to a pan and then add the grated ginger, cloves, crushed cardamom and peppercorn. Let it come to a boil on medium heat. Once it comes to a boil (it takes few minutes to come to a boil) then let it boil for 1 more minute. The color of the water will change at this point as all the spices seep through it.
Add the loose tea leaves and let it boil for 1 more minute. Meanwhile heat cashew milk in another pan or using a steamer. You don’t need to boil it, just heat it up.
After 1 minute, remove the pan from heat and strain the chai into a cup using a strainer.
Also strain the hot cashew milk through the same strainer. Now, add sugar to taste, stir well and serve hot! Serve this vegan masala chai with crispy cookies (we call then biscuits in India) like these jaggery cookies.

HERBAL TEA

Herbal tea is a very broad category that includes chamomile, peppermint, rooibos, and ginger teas. Unlike the other tea types, herbal teas do not come from the plant Camellia sinensis. Instead, they are infusions of dried herbs, spices, and fruits into water. Their tastes range from zesty and spicy to sweet and floral.
Because they can be made from so many different ingredients, the benefits of herbal teas are extremely broad. Many contain antioxidants from their fruit infusions, while others (like peppermint and ginger) can help soothe sore throats and headaches.

HOW TO MAKE HERBAL TEA

Start by boiling a kettle of water to a full rolling boil. The hotter the water, the more flavorful the tea will be. Add your tea bag or tea infuser to your mug, and pour the boiling water directly on the leaves.
Let your tea steep for 10 minutes or to taste – the longer the steep, the more flavorful the tea will be. Unlike the rest of the tea varieties, it is extremely difficult to over-steep herbal tea, and some tea drinkers even steep theirs overnight.
Once you’ve reached your desired flavor, remove your tea bag or infuser and enjoy! Much like with white tea, herbal tea should be the star of the show, so we recommend letting its flavor shine with no added milk or sugar.

INDIAN MASALA CHAI METHOD -

Add the whole spices to a mortar and crush them lightly into smaller pieces. In a small saucepan on high heat, pour in the water and add the spices. Bring the water to a boil and add the tea bags or leaves. Lower the heat to a medium to low setting and simmer for two minutes, or until the tea leaves and spices have released flavor and color. Then, pour in the milk. Method one - Double Boil: Bring the chai to a boil on high heat, so that it starts aerating and bubbling to the top. Remove the pot from heat until the bubbles come down. Replace the pot on the burner and bring the chai back up again to a boil and remove from heat a second time until the bubbles go back down. Method two - Pulling Chai Alternatively, use a small cup with a handle or ladle to scoop some of the chai and "pull" it while it’s simmering. Start by pouring in the chai at a low height and steadily move up higher while continuing to pour the chai back into the pot to create bubbles. Repeat a few times until the chai is bubbly. Continue to simmer the chai until desired consistency and color, about 5-7 minutes. Some of the liquid will have evaporated by now, so the chai will be smooth and creamy. Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the chai with a sieve into glasses, mugs, or a tea pot. Mix in the sugar according to taste, and serve hot.
