Steps
Pink Rose Chai
For the Pink Rose Chai, bring the water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan. Add the black tea leaves and simmer for 2 minutes, until the water is deeply colored and fragrant.
Add the milk, rose syrup, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir and heat until steaming, but do not allow the milk to boil vigorously. Simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors combine.
Strain the Pink Rose Chai into a cup and serve hot.
Green Elaichi Kahwa
For the Green Elaichi Kahwa, bring the water, crushed cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron to a simmer. Cover and infuse for 3–4 minutes, until aromatic.
Turn off the heat and add the green tea leaves. Steep for 2 minutes; avoid prolonged boiling or steeping, which can make green tea bitter.
Strain the kahwa into a cup. Stir in the honey only after straining, then garnish with slivered almonds and serve hot.
Creamy Chocolate Masala Chai
For the Creamy Chocolate Masala Chai, bring the water and crushed cardamom to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add the black tea leaves and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the milk, cocoa powder, and sugar. Whisk continuously until the cocoa dissolves and the mixture is hot and lightly frothy, about 2–3 minutes. Do not scorch the milk.
Strain the chocolate chai into a cup and serve immediately.
