FIRST!
Please! Don’t try this the very first time after just waking up.
Practice a couple of times so you won’t need to mop up the microwave at an hour when the sound of running water hurts the ears.
SECOND!
Check kitchen to make sure spouse (friend, dog, offspring, mother, anything with a voice) isn’t near.
Enter kitchen.
Avoid looking at clock.
Avoid turning on lights.
Try to use the microwave light by opening the door.
THIRD! (The good part!)
Fill mug 2/3 full of water.
Put in 1+ pinch of Chai Masala powder.
Put in a Black Tea bag.
Add Milk or Soymilk to the top.
Uff! Watch that Fridge light! Too Bright!
Microwave it until it just boils. Pacing and looking. Looking and pacing. Approx 2-3 minutes.
Let sit for a minute or two to steep. Pacing and looking. Looking and pacing.
Diddle with the Teabag Tag, like it helps.
Fish Teabag Tag out of mug.
Re-microwave to bring temp up as hot as possible. Looking. Watching.
Yank the tea bag. Squeeze it anyway. Lick scalded fingers on the way to the trash.
Sweeten or not, to taste.
Real Rough Night? Lots of sweet!
FINALLY!
Sip in that first sip of Hope and Delight.
Shudder a bit and
Greet the Morning!
Greet the Spouse!
Pet the Dog!
GREAT CHAI!
GREAT DAY!
This Chai can more respectfully be made in a small pan,
Bring the water to a boil, adding a pinch or 2 of Chai Masala.
When it has boiled for a couple minutes, add the Black Tea.
Either, prep your mug and microwave it with about 1/3 Milk, strain the tea and mix it in the mug or, pour the Milk directly into the pot and bring back to a boil. Strain and serve.
This is a great first intro to Chai, without being stuck with those super sweet prepacked liquid products. Experiment with the different brands of Chai Masala to find the ones you like.
