Quotes like “chai is life” or “chai is an emotion” are not overstated. For numerous South Asians worldwide, chai is integral to their daily routine, whether as a morning ritual, an afternoon pick-me-up, or an essential component of hospitality when welcoming guests. Paired with snacks like biscuits, Onion Pakodas, and Chutney Sandwiches, chai becomes indispensable during conversations and meetups. Love tea? Do try my ginger tea recipe!

Recipe
While you can grind the spices as you need, you can make a batch of Chai Masala and keep it handy to make the chai.
Storing
Masala Chai is best served immediately. Tea can be reheated in the microwave or stove top but it’s best consumed within a couple of hours.
Love creamy, thick chai? Use half water and half milk. Love strong chai? Allow the chai to boil for 5 minutes after adding milk Love a light chai? Add more water, use low-fat milk, and simmer only for a minute or two after adding tea and after adding milk. Masala Chai can be enjoyed without any sweeteners, but feel free to add add much or as little sugar or sweetener of your choice. Fresh mint, lemon grass, or dried rose petals can be added to the chai.
