Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved Black Queens!!

Sisters, we deserve the best Allah has to offer. Chai is a luxury we should experience every day, In sha Allah (If it pleases Allah). In Arabic it is pronounced “Shy” and it is Heavenly. I make mine with grated ginger, heavy whipping cream and Cardamom.

Just measure out how much water you are going to need for your Chai and grate some ginger into it. You can also use a tea strainer. Boil it. The strength of the ginger’s “bite” will depend on how long you boil it and how much ginger you use. You can test out different lengths and amounts until you find a combination that works best for you.

Strain the ginger out of the water, then pour the “ginger tea” over a Black Tea bag. I use Ahmad Tea because Ahmad is a name of Allah (God) and because I got three boxes for free at the Masjid. 🙂 Anyway, let it steep for about three to five minutes depending on how strong you want it.

Then add some honey and a little heavy whipping cream.

Top it off with a little Cardamom and Enjoy!

**You can also refrigerate and drink it cold – or even put it in the freezer till it’s icy – a spicy refresher for warm Summer days!
