Chai Tea

WHAT IT IS: Masala Chai is a traditional Indian beverage made a combination of spices, steamed milk & sweetened to taste.

HOW IT'S MADE: Masala chai (or "spiced tea") is a beverage made by brewing tea with a mixture of aromatic spices. By itself, chai is merely the generic word for tea in Iran, India and much of the world, but for many English speakers, "chai" is always construed as "masala chai".

HOW IT'S BREWED: Pour half a cup of boiling water over 1 teaspoon of loose leaf Chai into a clay mug (preferred). Let steep 5 miinutes, then add half a cup of hot milk or condensed milk for greater sweetness. Strain leaves and spices before drinking.
