5 best homemade tea recipes for you
Masala tea (with milk)
Masala tea is one of the most famous tea in India. Here different types of aromatic spices are added to make this tea. These spices are cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, ginger and black pepper.
You just need to boil full cream milk over a medium flame. Then add ginger and boil 1 minute then add other spices like cardamon, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and black pepper. Boil another 1 minute over low flame and finally add tea leaves powder and boil for next 2-3 minutes over low flame. Now switch of fire and strain it and pour into cups & serve.
Red tea
Red tea or lal chai is very special to me because I normally prefer this tea at home on regular basis. Milk is not added here. Special tea leaves powder is used to make this red tea. Sometimes lemon juice & rock salt are used. So often people ask for lal lebu chai (red lemon tea) in Bengal where it is very popular.
Irani tea
I have tried this tea first time in Hyderabad. Luckily I liked that Irani tea very much. I do not know after many years, now it is any more Irani chai or not but I found this tea very unique and different from any other type of tea. It takes longer time to make this Irani chai as compared to normal tea.
Tulsi gotu kola tea
You may think it is actually a tea but you are wrong. I actually make this without using green tea bag. So technically I am supposed to not say this tea. But in case you want to make it tea in proper way then add green tea bag to this tulsi gotu kola tea and enjoy.
Mango iced tea
This is a perfect tea for summer when mostly want to avoid hot tea. So iced tea is perfect for the months of April to June. It will help you to feel refreshed. You may have tried iced tea several times at many restaurants but this is different, I mean not just an ordinary iced, But it is mango iced tea what you never tasted. But surprisingly still you can make this mango iced tea at home very easily.
