Masala Chai is an everyday life force of a tea, robust and full-flavored it starts with a basic black tea and is blended with traditional Indian spices. The bold flavor of our black tea holds up well to the full notes of the spices in a way that is zesty and stimulating. This Chai should be brewed strong and served sweet with steamed milk and sugar.
Masala Chai is a classic blend of Chai - subject to interpretation of course. Chai teas are all about experimenting and having fun, both by the tea blender and the drinker of the tea. Invariably, a veteran Chai tea drinker finds a little twist; whether it be an added ingredient or style of preparation, that makes their personal version of a great cup of Masala Chai. While all Masala Chai teas may not have the same spices in the same proportions; generally speaking, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper are the four mainstays of a Masala Chai.
How to Prepare Masala Chai Black Tea:
Heat water (filtered if possible) to a boil and let cool slightly before adding one tablespoon of loose tea per cup (apprx. 8 ounces). Infuse for 5-6 minutes depending on taste preference. Tastes best with added milk and sweetener according to your preference.
Want to try a more traditional way of preparing your Masala Chai? Take 1 tablespoon of loose leaf chai blend, plus a 1/2 cup of milk, 3/4 of cup of water, and 1.5 tablespoons of sweetener and add to a small sauce pan. (For more than one serving multiply the ingredients by the number of servings). Bring the chai and liquids to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for five to six minutes. Strain the heated chai tea into serving cups and enjoy!
