What is chai tea?
“Chai tea”, “masala tea” or “spiced tea” – they all mean the same thing. All three refer to a very popular tea from India made by brewing black tea, water and bold spices like cinnamon, cardamom and ginger.
Everything is simmered together in just the right ratio to create its signature flavour and irresistible aroma. Usually, milk and sugar are also added for a creamier and somewhat latte-like taste.
You can enjoy this taste at most cafés or buy chai tea online to make it at home. When making it yourself, chai tea bags can help you skip the hassle of measuring out spices but still let you enjoy an authentic taste.
