Chai masala is a mix of spices that make your tea more aromatic, refreshing and healthy. Infused with the goodness of dried ginger, cloves, peppercorns, cinnamon, nutmeg etc, the chai masala is a must for every chai lover. masala can be stored and added to tea as and when required. The ratio of spices can be customized as per personal choice and liking.Masala not only helps to make the tea more aromatic but is also good for a bad throat and has other health benefits too.
Chai masala calls for dried ginger and other whole spices such as cloves, black peppercorns, cinnamon etc. There is a hint of rose petals which beautifully cuts all the sharpness of these spices. I have tried various combinations and ratios to make masala. Finally, I settled at this one. It has more black pepper than cloves, not too much cinnamon; all the flavors are very well balanced. However, you can adjust the spices as per your liking.
Chai lovers will love adrak wali chai. View the recipe here. I recently tried cutting chai, popular in Mumbai and believe me it is different from the regular chai. View the recipe here.
I can’t insist enough on the flavors and goodness of homemade spice mixes. Once you make these at home, you will see the difference. I know the difference and therefore there are a number of recipes for homemade spice mixes on the blog. You can find the same here.
