To begin making the Kesar Chai, add water into a saucepan, along with the saffron strands and allow it to come to a brisk boil.

Once it begins to boil; add the tea leaves. Allow the tea leaves to simmer in the water for about a minute and turn off the heat.

Once you add the tea leaves, allow it to brew just a little to ensure the tea stays light and does not turn bitter.

Stir in the milk into the chai and allow it to rest for a few seconds. 

Strain the Kesar chai into the cups and serve. Add a few more saffron strands to the top while serving, this will give a great look and also add to the taste and flavor of the chai.

Serve the Kesar chai Recipe along with Samosa or Vegetable Bajji or Pakora for an evening snack.
