How to make tea in microwave in 5 minutes | Microwave masala chai recipe | Indian chai in microwave oven

A cup of tea solves everything! If you are a beginner in the kitchen, you can easily make it on microwave in just 5 minutes. As a tea lover, I always love to make my own tea. I really love the taste of my tea and I was totally surprised with the results when I tried the same recipe on the microwave for the very first time. Literally, I don't find any difference between microwave and stovetop tea. Why don't you try it by yourself once! Grab a bowl or mug and start making it.
