Chai in a cream beaker
A chai in a cream beaker, #465 of 999. Roastery light, concrete counter. Foam on the surface. Special blend: Chipped. Scarce: Beaker. Rare, roast score 208.
The recipe
5 g masala · 125 ml water · 125 ml milk · 6 min
- Crack the whole spices — cardamom, clove, a short length of cinnamon — and simmer them in water for 6 minutes before the tea goes anywhere near it.
- Add the leaf and 125 ml of milk, and bring it up to the rise three times without letting it boil over.
- Strain into the beaker. Sweeten in the pan, not at the table.
- Spoon the foam on last so it sits proud of the rim rather than folding in.
