Odd that you don’t mention any spices, which are the quintessential part of the tea.
Cardamon, always! That’s what makes it chai and not just tea with milk. (To 1 liter of liquid, add 2-3 whole cracked cardamons, and 1/4 teaspon ground cardamon).
Then, according to taste, one may or may not add one or two of the following spices: fresh ginger (grated), fennel seeds (ground), cinnamon, saffron, etc.
Thanks Ilhu for the update! The Karak I had was flavored only with saffron, but I will definitely try cardamon next time.
Just a quick comment, Karak tea, is not really qatari. Its an indian subcontinent tea usually from the mountain regions. 🙂
@Oraza, you should tell that to me Qatari friends, all of whom assured me it was Qatari. But it is definitely very similar to chai.
Hi all ……………. cardamon = Hail ……………… LOL
