MASALA CHAI TEA Recipe
Spiced sweetened milk tea. Every Indian family has their own recipe to make chai, but the most important base spice is cardamon. The sweet fragrance of cardamon mixed with other spices such as fennel, cloves and cinnamon gives the tea a heady aroma. The tea is simmered slowly to extract its full strength.
Goes really well with curries and hot foods. The tea is addictive! You won't stop at just one cup.
