How to make Mint milk tea | Pudina chai

Making mint tea or pudina chai is super simple and same as making regular chai tea with just 1 extra step.

We begin by boiling mint with water in fairly large vesssel that allow bubbling of tea without spilling. I can take 10 mint leaves.

Allow water to boil for 5 minutes until color visibly changes to greenish tinge.

Now add black tea powder. You may add tea bags. The water will rise as you add tea so reduce heat before adding tea powder.

Let the tea boil for 1 minute until it loose the raw flavor and water color darkens. Then add milk.

Let the tea bubble for few minutes and stay close. Adjust heat so tea continues to bubble without rising to the top and flowing over the brim. Finally, add sugar to taste and mix with spoon. Place a small strainer over the serving tea cup and strain the tea to remove tea powder. Serve hot.
