The first step you need to take is to grab your ginger and cut it into slices. Put the water, your milk of choice, and the ginger in a cooking pot, bring them to boil. Once it starts boiling add the Masala tea blend and the sugar, and stir it till the sugar desolves.
Once this is done leave it boiling on a medium heat for 20-30 minutes.

By the end of that period of time it should be reduced by 35-40%, then you just simply strain out the tea, spices and the ginger from your Masala Chai. Garnish with a cinammon stick or star anis, or why not both.
