Ingredients: A Symphony of Flavours!

Indian Chai Tea is known for its unique mix of spices, which people often call "Chai Masala" or "Masala Chai Mix." Each ingredient adds a lot to the taste, smell, and health benefits of the dish:

• Cardamom: Cardamom is an important part of Chai, giving the drink a sweet, fragrant finish. It is also thought to help the digestive system.
• Ginger: Ginger is known for its ability to boost the immune system. It also gives the tea a spicy kick and makes it feel warmer.
• Pepper (both black and white): Black pepper has a strong, slightly sweet flavour and a spicy heat, while white pepper has a mild heat and an earthy flavour.
• Cinnamon: Cinnamon has a warming, slightly sweet taste, and it may be good for your health because it can help control your blood sugar.
• Cloves: Cloves give Chai a sweet, bitter taste and make it more interesting. They also have health benefits, such as helping digestion.
• Nutmeg: When used in small amounts, nutmeg gives Chai a rich, slightly sweet, nutty taste. It is also known for calming and putting people to sleep.

Before being used, most spices are toasted and ground together which we have done for you with this special chai mix.

A Traditional Way to Make Chai Tea.

In India, the way Chai tea is made can vary from place to place and family to family, but there are some rules that are usually followed:

• Boiling the Water: The first step is to boil a pot of water. Often, the amount depends on how many cups will be served.
• Adding the Chai Masala: Next, the spice mix is added to water that is already boiling. People can add or take away spices based on their tastes.
• Tea Leaves: Assam or Darjeeling black tea leaves are usually added to the boiling water and spices.
• Adding Milk: Fresh milk is poured into the simmering tea, giving it a rich, creamy texture.
• Adding sugar: The last step is adding sugar to the mixture, which is important because sugar makes the strong flavours even better.
• Simmer and strain: After a few minutes of simmering, the tea is strained and poured into cups. It comes out very hot.

The Right Way to Drink Chai Tea.

Chai Time is when people have snacks with their chai tea in the morning or evening. This simple drink brings the country and its people together, whether in an office, on a train, at a family get-together, or at a busy street corner called a "Chai Wallah."
Because Chai can be used in so many ways, people have come up with new ways to use it, like Masala Chai Ice Cream, Chai Latte, Chai Pancakes, and more. Its versatility shows why it is still a mainstay and a symbol of Indian hospitality.
The Chai culture has its roots in India and is more than just a blend of tea. Each sip brings to mind traditions that go back hundreds of years, many memories, and the warmth of Indian homes. You can't go wrong with a cup of Indian Chai tea, whether you try something new or stick with the original recipe.
