How To Make Masala Chai

How to Make Masala Chai :

This is a recipe I picked up from one of the cooking shows over at Travel and Living Channel (TLC). Chai essentially means tea and Masala Chai is a perfect combination of spices mixed over a boiling water of black tea.

Here are the ingredients needed to make your very own Masala Chai at home :

• loose black tea is much preferred than one of those in the tea bags


• a couple pods of green cardamoms


• some slices of ginger


• a couple of cinnamon sticks


• some black pepper corns

Methods :

• Heat some water in a pot until it comes to a boil


• Then, pour in all the ingredients mentioned above : black tea, cardamoms, ginger, cinnamon sticks, black pepper corns and turn off the heat.


• Let the tea and the whole mix steep for a couple of minutes ( probably about 5 minutes)


• Add sugar and milk


• Sift and pour over a cup and enjoy your Masala Chai

As long as you have all the basic ingredients handy around the kitchen pantry, Masala Chai is really dead easy and simple to make. Best of all it is way cheaper than the one in the coffee shops. With the combination of cardamoms and ginger, that is a sure way to release heat and gas out of your system. Moreover, the pepper corns brings out a bit of heat in the chai and I think that gives this Masala Chai a bit of a kick with an overall taste of spice and flavour in a milk tea.This recipe on How To Make Masala Chai is a difinite must try for all you tea lovers out there and happy drinking!
