Chai
I have had a request for a chai recipe. I don't have a recipe, but I will describe what I see being done here and you can check on the internet for more details.
Heat milk until it starts to froth (just to boil). Add loose black tea (not big leaves but tea dust). Grate fresh ginger, crush cumin and cardomum and toss into the hot milk. Add sugar, about 2-3 teaspoons per serving. It should be sweeter than you would otherwise dare. Stir then pour through a strainer. Then pour from one receptacle to another from a hight to encourage frothing and cooling.
On our camel trek, where no fresh cows milk was available, our guides used powdered skim milk with great success. It was not like the instant stuff from Superstore but more the consistency of flour. My mom used to buy it in Quebec. It dissolves in hot water without those little white floaties that you get with the instant milk powder.
