In this video we are sharing one of our favourite recipes for a very refreshing Indian chai using fresh mint leaves, grated ginger and crushed cardamon.
Gita, GitaDini’s head designer shows us how she likes to make her morning tea. Because she really loves her cup of morning chai, she decided to design a special teapan with a built-in strainer, for ease of use when pouring the tea into the cup.

• a pinch of crushed cardamom
