Recipe Kazakh Chai (Kazakh Tea)

Boil water in a large pot over high heat.

Add black tea leaves to the boiling water and steep for 5-7 minutes.

Strain the tea into a separate pot, discarding the leaves.

In the same pot, add milk to the tea and stir to combine.

Add sugar to taste, adjusting sweetness as desired.

Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavors.

Crush cardamom pods and add them to the tea mixture.

Add cinnamon sticks and cloves for additional spice.

Simmer the tea over low heat for 10-15 minutes to infuse flavors.

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Serve hot in traditional cups.
