• 3 (8oz) blocks cream cheese
• 1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon agar agar
• 1 cup water
• 3 teaspoons chai masala
• 3 heaping teaspoons tea leaves

1. 1Grind 10 graham crackers into a fine powder.
2. 2Add 5 tablespoons of melted butter to the ground graham crackers and stir until all crumbs are moist.
3. 3Press the buttered graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper, creating an even crust.
4. 4Place the pan with the crust in the refrigerator to chill and solidify.
5. 5Heat 1 cup of water in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil.
6. 6Add 1 teaspoon of powdered agar-agar to the boiling water and boil for exactly 5 minutes.
7. 7Turn off the stove, then add 3 teaspoons of chai masala and 3 heaping teaspoons of tea leaves to the hot agar-agar solution and stir well to steep, keeping the mixture warm.
8. 8In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 (8oz) blocks of softened cream cheese and 1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk, then blend with a hand blender until smooth.
9. 9Strain the warm chai-agar-agar mixture through a fine-mesh sieve directly into the cream cheese filling, pressing the tea leaves to extract all liquid.
10. 10Blend the entire filling mixture again with the hand blender until uniformly light brown and smooth.
11. 11Pour the prepared chai cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust in the springform pan and smooth the top surface with a spatula.
12. 12Cover the cheesecake tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator to chill and set for a minimum of 8 hours, ideally overnight (24 hours for best results).
13. 13After the cheesecake is fully set, unlatch and gently remove the side ring of the springform pan, then slice into wedges and serve.
