Masala Chai | Black Tea
This is a traditional Indian Masala Chai, but we use a higher grade base tea and higher grade spices. It is full-bodied, aromatic, and smooth. The spices are comfortingly familiar yet also exotic.
Chai, or more accurately Masala Chai, is a traditional Indian way of doing black tea. It consists of Indian black tea, Indian spices, milk, and a sweetener. There are an infinite number of chai recipes in India and it seems every family has their own secret recipe. We received this recipe from the wife of one of our Indian tea suppliers.
The steeping suggestions are just a starting place, adjust to your taste; but to achieve the creamy thickness of Masala Chai, you do need to boil the milk. You can also make this as a simple spiced tea using 1 tsp per 8oz boiling water, for 3-5 min. Add sugar or milk to your taste.
