Hi

I went to India last year and spent a lot of time drinking incredibly
milky, incredibly sweet chai tea and I'd like to try making some here.
Recipes are easy enough to come across on the internet but it's going to
be awkward and time-consuming to scale them down to one cup at a time.
Has anyone tried making a quantity of chai and storing it in the fridge,
reheating or even microwaving it as needed? I suppose there's only one
way to find out for sure!

As an aside, I found this thread about pouring chai from mug-to-mug on
my search:

http://groups.google.com/group/uk.food+drink.indian/browse_thread/thread/f7ef80fc06938db7/0f1f1e78f029e31f?tvc=2&q=group%3Auk.food%2Bdrink.indian+chai#0f1f1e78f029e31f

I don't remember seeing people in India serve this, but it's very common
in the Indian restaurants in Malaysia where it's known as "teh tarik".
Usually served in side-handled half-pint glasses with a very foamy head,
it tastes different to Indian chai (probably because it's sweetened
with condensed milk) but still sugary and delicious.

Cheers,

Mark

I buy a couple of tins of Fortnum & Mason's Chai Masala every time I go
to London. No idea how authentic it is, but it is as delicious as
any chai I've tasted in Indian restaurants or homes and tastes just as
good. Made up with lots of sugar and full-fat milk it is more than
moderately Godlike. Made with no sugar and semi-skimmed (not really
terribly authentic) it's a lovely clean refreshing drink.

I make my chai with 2or3 tea bags, milk+water(equal parts) and a few
cracked cardamon pods, and as much sugar as you like.
I normally make enough for about 2to3 cups but I end up drinking the lot
myself in one go, never needed to store it, it doesnt last that long in
my house.
