Masala Chai


A wonderfully sweet, spicy and soothing tea.
Chai takes me back to those memories, sitting in the veranda sipping a cup of tea with mom and my siblings chatting  endlessly, India is all about endless conversations and the endless teas, and of course endless fun…I can never say no to a cup of chai. Indian streets, tea vendors, memories. ..It’s all about flavours isn’t it!

Crushed Ginger
Adrak/ Ginger

Speaking of flavours, Adrak vali chai / Ginger tea is a perfect pick me up and ginger has its own healing properties and so is Masala chai. Its fragrant, its spiced its sweet, its soothing and I bet you will fall in love with this one. If you have tried chai latte in one of the local coffee shops you know what I am talking about but this recipe is far more authentic. So whether it’s a windy rainy day, cold winter day or nice and sunny stand by the window and sip some masala chai and relax…
