- 3 pieces cloves
- 1 inch ginger (fresh, sliced)

Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the water, cardamom pods (crush them lightly with the back of a spoon), cinnamon stick, cloves, ginger slices, and black peppercorns.
Step 2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the whole milk. Stir gently and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not boil, as the milk may scorch.
Step 5
Add sugar to the saucepan and stir until it dissolves completely. Taste and adjust the sugar if needed.
Step 6
Allow the chai to simmer on low for another 2-3 minutes, so the flavors meld together beautifully.
