Product Information

Fresh ginger root: If I’m feeling under the weather, I’ll add another slice or 2 of ginger. Otherwise, I prefer the ginger to be subtle. For stronger ginger flavor, use a mortar & pestle to crush it instead of slicing. It accounts for evaporation. This means you won’t set out to make 2 cups and end up with half a cup.

Using one bag per person, pour on boiling water and infused for two to three minutes. Leave for a little longer if you prefer a stronger taste. I developed this recipe with tea bags. If you prefer to use tea leaves, you certainly can. But depending on the brand, it may increase the strength of the tea and therefore make the spices more muted. Adjust by reducing tea and/or grinding the spices. Other Ingredients The word chai simply means tea.

Yes, Chai Tea is a redundant term. (My friend Kathryn’s PSA on phrases like “Chai Tea” and “Chai-Spiced” explains it best.) But I do think that Chai Tea, initially a rendition on masala chai, has evolved into its own drink. When I think of Chai Tea or Chai Tea Lattes, I think of the coffee shop drink made with concentrated Chai flavor. It’s so different from traditional Indian Masala Chai, that it can safely be categorized as a completely different drink. To Serve Iced: Allow to cool, then store in the fridge until chilled. Top with ice cubes. More Pakistani & Indian Drinks You’ll Love This is truly the best thing I have drank in a long time. I plan to make it every day now!

If you’re using a larger pan, add an extra 1/4 cup water to account for the extra evaporation. Add the whole spices & ginger while the water is coming to a boil.

But the base spice mix serves a neutral starting point so that no spice is overpowering.
