Masala chai recipe with video and step by step pictures. ItĀ  is one of the popular and favorite drinks in India.

Tea is one of the most common beverage had in most of Indian homes. Each family have their own version of making tea according to their personal choice of ingredients and measures. Tea is considered to keep our body warm so may be thats the reason its popular in most of chill locations. However many people in India have tea throughout the year.

There are two ways to make Masala tea: 1.From scratch as shown here in this post 2.Using masala tea powder

This masala tea is full of flavour perfect for this chill weather. I usually make masala tea during winters when I feel like having spiced hot tea. Hubby loves all tea varieties so make for him too.Tea has become an integral part of many households and ours is no exception, I have tea once during evenings which is very refreshing to run between chores and the kids šŸ™‚

Masala tea reipe:

Masala tea is an Indian beverage made with whole spices as main ingredients and is packed with strong flavour.Ā  The whole spices include cinnamon, cloves, ginger, cardamom etc. Masala chai can be made using a different combination of flavours but I have given the recipe with the basic spices used. Compared to other tea recipes this masala chai is my favorite.

Variations:

  • For vegan option skip milk and replace it with almond milk or soya milk or cashew milk.
  • Furthermore add more spices like fennel seeds, black pepper, nutmeg, star anise etc.
  • For winter season in addition you can even add tulsi leaves to this tea. It gives a soothing feel also prevents from catching cold often.
  • The tea powder brand too makes a difference. Use assam tea powder for best results.

Serving Suggestion:

  • Serve masala chai with any snack especially any deep fried crispy snack such as pakoda, vada would be apt with ginger tea.
  • Plain marie biscuits with tea is a match made in heaven.
