Masala Chai Recipe or Masala Chai – an ancient Indian blend of spices mixed as a concoction in tea for the best flavor and aroma in your daily tea. I have used home-made masala tea powder for this recipe. I usually start my day with a hot cup of masala chai or lemongrass tea. Can’t live without sipping tea need them twice a day.
There are a lot of antioxidant’s in tea which is great for your body provided you limit only drinking twice a day. You could use any good brand of tea masala like everest, organic brand however I prefer home-made one.
I would share a small secret today for a flavorful and strong tea. Also, you could refer to the notes below. If you love mint then always add them once your tea is boiled then cover with a lid for 60 secs. You would get all the mint flavor absorbed in your tea. Also, I add the special masala chai powder towards the end. The magic of some herbs and spices are they have a better taste and impact when added towards the end 🙂 hope this help’s you in making a much better chai or tea.
