Drink
Masala chai, a cherished drink from India, is much more than just tea - it’s a moment of comfort and a celebration of aromatic spices. From strong, sweet brews to spiced, milky versions served in clay cups, every family, vendor, and region adds its unique twist to this timeless classic. Traditionally, black tea is simmered with warming spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger, then sweetened and enriched with creamy milk, creating a perfectly soothing drink.

I love all your recipes. But the Indian in me just wants to mention that the tea needs more tea leaves as it needs to be more darker… as we say in India masala chai needs to be ‘Kadak’ 🙂

Incredible! My husband and I both felt it need additional sugar, so we doubled the quantity the second time.

This was more work than I thoughtbit was going to be, but absolutely worth it

I wasn't a big fan of the overpowering cinnamon flavor, but other than that, this is definitely going to be in my rotation. Very hearty and comforting drink.
