1/19/14 First morning tea for stuffy nose. 3 tsp tea, 1/4 cup milk, 1 tbs sugar, 1 quarter of fresh ginger, 8 oz boiling water. Sugar, milk and ginger in the mug first, boiling water poured over, steeped until I get around to drinking it, but never fewer then five minutes.
Caveats – my single cup is never as good as when Uncle Lakhi makes the big pot of it on the stove whenever we get together.

Straight ginger is my favourite Chai as well!
My favorite thing about using fresh ginger is how easy it is to make more or less intense – whole coin, softer ginger flavour. Break the coin up a bit, more gingery! I can adjust while I drink, which is awesome.
