How to Make Indian Tea with Milk
Okay so if you are ‘Desi’ you can move on to my next post, because I know we all know how to make a cup of Chai!
Living abroad all my life, I have had people from so many countries compliment my Indian Tea with Milk, that I thought it’s “HIGH TEA” time I made a post on how to make Indian Tea for those who appreciate it and would like to make it.
I like a nice strong tea without a milky flavour, as I know many do. If you want a milkier tea that is not so strong just use fuller cream milk and fewer tea leaves. Try it my way once though. I believe you will like it.
Every household makes their tea in a different manner. Some boil the tea leaves in water first and add pre-boiled milk to this. Some add very little tea leaves and wait for the milk to boil slowly. I do not accept that there is a single way to make tea cause I know it comes out nicely in many methods. This post is intended for those friends outside of India or the Indian Subcontinent to make a good, satisfying tea and those youngsters who are making tea for themselves for the first time. Check out the full-length video ( 1 cup, 4 cups using tea leaves and 1 cup using tea bags).

Your tea recipe looks very good, I will definitely try it. Here is mine;
I use a mixture of tea leaves from my home city Hyderabad India. I bring about 3-4 kgs of various teas like Vanilla flavoured mixed tea ‘Hyvita’ and chocolate flavoured ‘Lamsa’, to Canada and it lasts me a year. I usually mix these two loose tea leaves with either Red Label or Tajmahal. And I drink my tea in a big mug.
Here’s my special Hyderabadi tea recipe,
1 1/2 cups full fat milk
1/2 cup water
Pinch of Bourvita/Ovaltine or any chocolate flavoured milk powder
1 crushed Parle G biscuit
2 TSP of the tea mixture
2 TSP or more sugar, I take 3 TSP
Mix everything except tea leaves. Let the milk come to a boil and then add tea leaves. Boil on med high flame for 5 mins. 5 mins more on med low. And simmer for 5 mins. Sieve and pour into another mug from a height so it becomes foamy. Enjoy!!,
That sounds awesome. Is this a modern tradition or is it your own creation? I Must try this soon. Thank you so much!
