Masala Chai is India’s most popular beverage and loved by most. Masala and Chai both translate to “spices” and “tea,” respectively, in Hindi. Thus, milk tea is prepared with flavourful spices to create masala chai. The recipe for masala tea may vary from family to family in India depending on the combination of spices used, the amount of milk, water, and the type of tea added. As a result, you may quickly adjust this recipe as per your preferences

Choosing Other Ingredients

Spices – Green cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon are the most frequently used spices in masala tea. Black pepper, ginger, fennel seeds, nutmeg, and star anise are among the additional optional seasonings. Milk – The amount of milk to add can vary depending on your preferences and the type of milk being used. An optimal ratio of water to milk can range from 1:1 to 3:1 depending on the kind of milk homogenised, non-homogenized, toned, or raw milk. Sweetener – Jaggery, an unrefined sweetener, is what is typically used to make Masala Chai. It’s a matter of preference you can also use sugar, coconut sugar, or palm jaggery.
