How to Brew Organic Chai Tea 

Chai is traditionally prepared on a stovetop, using more aggressive and rigorous brewing methods than Western tea brewing. Mix 2 tablespoons of chai per cup of water, and bring to a boil for two minutes. Add 1 cup of milk (or non-dairy substitute) and simmer once again for 3-5 minutes, before straining into a mug or cup. For a classic street-side preparation, froth the tea by repeatedly passing it between two pitchers and serve in a glass cup.
