## Popular Karak Chai with Condensed Milk
### Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups full-fat milk
- 1/4 cup condensed milk (or adjust according to desired sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon loose black tea leaves (preferably a strong variety)
- 4-6 cardamom pods, crushed
- Optional spices: cinnamon, cloves, ginger (for added warmth and flavor)
### Directions
1. **Water and Spices**: In a saucepan, heat the water. Add the crushed cardamom pods and optional spices like cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
2. **Tea Leaves**: Once the water is simmering, add the black tea leaves. Allow it to boil gently until the water reduces slightly, intensifying the tea's flavor.
3. **Milk and Condensed Milk**: Add the full-fat milk and condensed milk to the saucepan. The condensed milk not only sweetens the chai but also contributes to its creamy texture.
4. **Boil and Simmer**: Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to let it simmer. This process allows the flavors to meld together and the tea to achieve a rich consistency.
5. **Strain**: After simmering for a few minutes, strain the tea into cups, ensuring all spices and tea leaves are removed.
6. **Serve**: Enjoy the Karak Chai hot, ideally with traditional accompaniments like biscuits or pastries.
This preparation method for Karak Chai, using condensed milk, is popular for its rich, creamy, and sweet characteristics. It's a beloved variant in many tea-drinking cultures, offering a comforting and indulgent twist on the traditional chai.
