[Tea Junkie] Chai "Masala" Tea

in #food6 years ago (edited)

Like all tea enthusiasts, I love discovering new flavours.
I have grown to love the aroma of a good Chai tea.

Chai Tea is also known as "Masala Tea" in India and Masala means spiced blend.

Although there are many versions of Masala tea, I have finally curated my own after many trial and errors.

Ingredients
Crushed Ginger 1/2 inch piece
4 - 5 cloves
4 crushed cardomom
1/2 a cinnamon stick
4 mint leaves
1 regular tea bag - or - 1 teaspoon tea powder
1 cup of milk
1/4 cup of water
1 1/2 teaspoon of organic brown sugar

Instructions: 10 mins

  1. Add 1/4 cup of water to your sauce pan.
  2. Add crushed ginger, cardomom, cinnamon stick, cloves, mint leaves to your sauce pan.
  3. Add the tea bag/powder and let it boil for 5 minutes on medium heat.
  4. Add the milk and sugar and let it boil until the milk rises.
  5. Once the milk rises turn off the stove and move the pan.
  6. Use a strainer to filter the tea into your favourite mug!

Serving: 2 cups


Notes:

  • You can blend all the spices in powder form for a quick fix
  • Mint leaves are not a must but a nice touch
  • You can also use condensed milk instead of regular milk

I used to drink Chai tea from Starbucks all the time and until I tasted an authentic home made Chai.

Do let me know if you get a chance to try out this recipe and how you liked it! I am looking forward to hearing from you :)
