Indian Masala Chai Recipe • Homemade Indian Spiced Tea | Club Foody
As a friend, we should always be supportive and encourage each others dreams although we might not always agree about the choices... I call that respect!
One of my friends Joanne from Dundas, Ontario decided years ago to start a tea shop. The concept was amazing! She wasn’t only selling loose tea but also anything related to it; tea pots, tea cups, tea containers, tea bags, etc. At the cash register, she also had a wide selection of chocolates… yummy! As a friend, I bought whatever I could because I wanted to support and encourage her in her business venture. I bought so many different varieties of loose teas; from oolong to rooibos and everything in between. One day, she had me try a popular tea from India and Pakistan. Oh my! It was incredibly amazing and I loved it! The one I’m talking about here is Indian Masala Chai! This aromatic tea is fabulously flavorful! Brewed with black tea and spices, this is a beverage that is seriously awesome! Just some quick info – masala means “mixture of spices” and chai means “tea”. When I moved to British Columbia, I went to a couple of tea shops in Vancouver and bought some but unfortunately they were not as strong and spicy as Joanne’s. One day I decided to make my own. Just from the taste of it, I kind of knew which spices were in it and since then I’ve being enjoying my own homemade masala tea whenever I feel like having some! I love to sip my Indian Masala Chai on a cold afternoon! When it comes to the ingredient amounts, I’ve given you “the smoother” version of it. I personally prefer a much stronger flavor using more peppercorns. Like any recipe you come across, the amounts are just guidelines and you can always adjust them to your liking. Depending on how I feel, I either make it with half water and half milk or go for a richer flavor using strictly milk. It is such a tasty Indian masala chai to enjoy by the fireplace with a book and your favorite music playing in the background. Take out your spice grinder and try this delicious chai! Cheers!
