I have quite a few things to say regarding 'chai tea' as an Indian. Indeed as Mr Gruff says, this kind of tea (what we actually call masala tea) is made pretty much only with milk, at least traditionally. So it was complicated to think of how to make the drink. Eventually I just made it with black tea and a little bit of cinnamon syrup as well as a muddled cardamom pod and a single clove. Tasted alright, but I wish there was a proper clarification and rectification about the tea.
