## Creamy Condensed Milk Karak Chai Recipe
**Overview**: This recipe marries the richness of condensed milk with the traditional brewing method of Karak Chai. It's designed for those who love the classic taste with a hint of creamy sweetness, making it a delightful treat for any time of the day.
**Ingredients:**
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup full-fat milk (enhances the chai's creaminess)
- 1/4 cup condensed milk (adds a rich sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Assam loose black tea leaves (for a strong, full-bodied flavor)
- 4-6 cardamom pods, crushed (for a fragrant aroma)
- Optional: A pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg (for added warmth and spice)
**Total Cooking Time: Approximately 10-15 minutes**
**Directions:**
1. **Boil Water and Spices**: In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the crushed cardamom pods, and optional cinnamon or nutmeg, if using.
2. **Infuse Tea**: Add 1 tablespoon of Assam tea leaves to the boiling water. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to extract the strong flavors.
3. **Add Milks**: Pour in 1 cup of full-fat milk and 1/4 cup of condensed milk. Stir well. Bring the mixture back to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat.
4. **Simmer and Serve**: Let the chai simmer for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chai to achieve a creamy consistency. Strain into cups and serve hot.
**Note**: This recipe is a perfect blend of tradition and modern taste preferences. Condensed milk not only sweetens the chai but also adds to its body, creating a luxurious texture. The use of Assam tea ensures a robust base that stands up to the added richness.
**Customization Tips**: Adjust the amount of condensed milk to control the sweetness and creaminess. For a spicier kick, add a small piece of fresh ginger or a few pepper corns during the boiling stage.
