I found an Indian-inspired drink called Chai Tea Latte in America. Was it anything like authentic chai (चाय)in India? I found out!

Basic chai recipe:

Ingredients
1 mug of whole milk (or, ideally, buffalo milk)
2 tsp sugar
1.5 tsp black tea (Tata Tea Gold for an Indian flavour or Tapal Danedar for a Pakistani flavour)
2 or 3 crushed green cardamon pods (grind 'em into a powder for max flavour)

Recipe
1. Add all ingredients to a pot and slowly bring to a boil. Steep it 3-4 times. The colour should be a rich brown.
2. Strain into your mug.
Pro-tip: Pour from a height to get those creamy air bubbles on top.

Chai is a type of tea that originated in India. It typically consists of black tea brewed with a mixture of aromatic Indian spices and herbs, such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, and black pepper. Chai is often prepared with milk and sweetened with sugar or honey, giving it a rich, creamy, and flavourful profile. It can be served hot or cold and is popular not only in India but also in many other parts of the world, often enjoyed as a soothing and comforting beverage.
