Ingredients

Instructions

Chop the ginger and crush the cardamom in a mortar. Bring the water with the spices and the honeybush to the boil, leave to stand on the switched-off stove for another 10 minutes. Sweeten with rock candy as you like (real chai is almost sticky-sweet, but also tastes great unsweetened!)
Pour into cups and serve with a dash of milk.
Tip: Honeybush has no caffeine, unlike black tea and it gives the chai a mild, sweet taste, so that sugar can be avoided. Traditionally, black tea can also be used. Choose a mild variety!
You can also experiment with other spices such as cinnamon, cloves, pepper, etc. if you like.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
