Masala chai is a sweet and spicy drink that can be enjoyed all year round, served either piping hot from the stove or nice and chilled from the fridge. Originating in South Asia, most notably India. Masala chai (/ tʃ aɪ /; lit. 'mixed-spice tea') is a tea beverage made by boiling black tea in milk and water with a mixture of aromatic herbs and spices. Originating in India, the beverage has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a feature in many coffee and tea houses.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have masala chai tea using 9 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Masala Chai Tea:
- Get 5-6 cardamon pods
- Get 1/2 cinnamon stick
- Get 2 star anise
- Get 4 cloves (optional)
- Make ready sliced ginger
- Get 2-3 tsp lose leaves black tea (I am using 3 tsp)
- Prepare 2 cups water
- Make ready 2 cups milk
- Prepare Sweetener of your choice
And that is exactly what Masala Chai is -black tea infused with fragrant spices, typically served with milk. Here in the states we often call this "chai tea", or a chai tea latte. But in India, saying "chai tea", is like saying "tea tea". Chai (rhymes with "pie") is the word for tea in many parts of the world.
Instructions to make Masala Chai Tea:
- Lightly crushed cardamon and star anise, break the cinnamon stick into half (the spices will release its flavour faster during the process if you do this step)
- Put black tea leaves and spices in a sauce pan (or you can put all these in a teabag like me). Add the water and bring to boil, let it simmer for 10 minutes (medium to high heat), until tea looks really dark/concentrated. If you are using normal tea bags, use 3 or 4. The tea needed to be strong as you will add a lot of milk later.
- Add in milk, and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes until tea look reduced.
- Turned off the heat and pour your masala chai to a mug with a strainer.
- Add your sweetener of choice and adjust to your liking (I am using brown sugar). Enjoy your fresh brewed masala chai tea.
- Note: Add more milk and less water if you want a richer/creamier taste. Or add less milk and more water if you want it less richer/creamier. I haven't tried it with plant based milk, but I am sure it should be fine too.
