How to Brew the Perfect Masala Chai?

There is nothing more joyous than the satisfaction of slurping a robust masala chai straight from the authentic ‘kulhad’ or clay cup in the tea stalls of India. We teach you just how to prepare that perfect cup of masala chai, Indian Street Style!

Ingredients:

• A Strong Black CTC Tea
• Darjeeling Black Leaf Tea (For Fragrance)
• Sweetener of Choice

For Spice Blend:

• 1 whole Cinnamon bark 
• 2-3 Cloves 
• 1 Tsp. Crushed Ginger
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 3-4 Cardamom pods 
• A pinch of crushed black pepper

Method:

• When the milk comes to a rolling boil, mix in the sweetener
• Add the tea leaves and let it come to a boil, lower the heat and boil the tea for a good 5 minutes
• Add the spice mix towards the end and let it sit on a low flame for 2 minutes
• Pour the tea and enjoy it hot!
