Ardrakwali Chai is made with fresh ginger, tea leaves and milk. This Indian ginger tea is a much-loved beverage due to its revitalizing aroma and health benefits.
The monsoon and winter are when we appreciate this masala tea the most. It gives the much-needed warmth and eases an itchy throat. Much appreciated once you come back drenched as it gets ready in 15 minutes. In an Indian household generally, the day begins with tea and this is one of them.
This tea is something I cannot do without be it rain or shine I want my cuppa! My afternoon tea is generally plain. However, you can serve it with cutlets, bhajiya, chivda, khaman, poha. The other tea recipes we enjoy are Lemon Honey Tea, Butterfly Pea Tea Shake Recipe, and 4 Delicious Ways to Make Iced Tea Recipe.
These are your ingredients for quantities please check the recipe card.
Grated or crushed ginger infuses well in teh water. Similarly crush cardamon and cut the lemon grass into about 2-inch-sized pieces. You can strain the tea well if the long strands of lemon grass are not in the way.
When is it advisable to drink ginger tea?
Ginger tea can be had at any time of the day. However, I will avoid tea after 6:30 pm as I have difficulty falling asleep after this time.
How do I know I have boiled the ginger enough?
Start with 1 cup of water and boil with the ginger. After about 5 minutes the water will turn yellowish and smell of ginger and you will have about ¾ cup of water. This is an indication that you have boiled the tea enough.
Why is Tea popular in India?
In India, people unwind, relax and socialise with tea. Making tea is easy and you have the ingredients in your pantry. Tea pairs well with almost anything from cutlets to biscuits.

Love adrak wali chai especially when I make masala puri for brunch. Ginger tea is not only healthy, it is a comfort hot drink. With the cold season now here, adrak chai is our daily routine.

I do not drink tea and trust me I do not make tea! Are you shocked, but I find making tea very complicated - so just don't make. Now with such a detailed recipe, perhaps I can try and please the family.

Iam glad you find this recipe easy, Vaishali. You can do it.

Adarak tea is my favourite. In winter, I always use jaggery in my tea with ginger and it gives an amazing taste. Your recipe is simple and quick.
