It originates in India and is based on Assam black tea and spices, the latter used in Ayurvedic medicine, composed of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, pepper, and cardamom. Here, we'll teach you how to make masala chai.

Other combinations for preparing it include anise, cloves, and fennel seeds. It's sold on the streets of India by chai-wallahs (tea vendors) who offer their own recipes, so there's no single recipe for Masala chai . It can be drunk with just water or milk; the spices soften its flavor and aroma.

Origin of Masala chai

To know how to make masala chai, it is important to know that in its early days, it did not involve tea, only hot spices that were used to relieve stomach and circulatory problems.

The English introduced their plantations to India in the 19th century, when China cut off supplies between the two countries due to the Opium War. The English were the ones who introduced the custom of drinking tea, but the Indian colonies later adopted their own way of drinking it.

How to make Masala Chai

The traditional recipe usually includes black tea , spices, and some sweetener. These ingredients are mixed and boiled together to create a rich, revitalizing beverage with a certain spiciness and sweetness.

In northern India, the tea used is Assam, and in the south, Nilgiri . The tea must have an intense flavor so that the other flavors don't overpower it. As for the milk, traditionally water buffalo milk is used, but in other parts, cow's milk is used.
