Cut the ginger into thin slices. Toast the cinnamon stick, cardamom and cloves in a non-stick pan until it smells nice.
Then bring the water to a boil. When it boils, remove from the heat, add tea bags and let steep for 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and add the spices. Simmer tea over low heat for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, it is best to heat the milk and honey in the microwave. When the 5 minutes are up, add the heated milk to the tea brew and briefly bring to the boil.
I poured the whole thing into a Bodum coffee maker and pressed down the spices with the sieve. You can also fill the finished chai into a suitable container using a straining cloth.
