Chai time with Amir, Frank and Jeff.

@marcus_k for one cup: Boil a little bit of water and add one teaspoon of black tea (get your hands on some of that good Persian stuff) , cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, black peppercorn (trust me bro) to it and let it boil and then one cup milk. Cook until it reaches a rich light brown colour and enjoy

@amir_bahram NO RATIOS? WEIGHTS? MEASUREMENTS?

One teaspoon of everything! Duh.
marcus_k
yeah... actually that's so evident I kinda feel dumb

might i... recall an old classic?
yaasshat
I was being facetious. I mean, an entire TEASPOON of black pepper in a cup of tea? Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems a touch excessive. Let alone a teaspoon of nutmeg or cloves.lol Those are very pungent flavors and don't usually require much.
marcus_k
I mean, it is whole black peppercorns from what i read out of his post, so in fairness if it's just the essence that boils out of them, it could make sense? Never boiled pepper so I have no clue. It's all strained, and the glass measurement is for milk itself, so adding that with the 'little bit of water', I'd wager a 1.5 cup or whatever? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll try it and if i don't report back, bill Amir for my funeral :3
yaasshat
Meh ... Just try it. Sounds good either way, to me. However, I love black pepper. Side note.... I'd add some heavy cream or whole milk to balance it out and make it a touch smoother.
marcus_k
Sounds good. I've seen people use condensed/evaporated milk with it too, so that's a consideration. :>
yaasshat
Better idea with sweetened condensed milk, in my opinion. But, I feel like @amir_bahram might have better suggestions since that's sort of a big thing in his culture. I do like learning about better ways to make tasty things, though.lol
